A guy I know from years ago in Carrickfergus has set out on his own

The flag is embroidered on each side on the new cover

As an ex Brazil living person ... tell me more about the flag ? (correct answer is NOT "It's the flag of Brazil !!!)

:)
 
Full seat recover on my st1100 was £90 and excellent workmanship :beerjug:
 
Maybe you'll enlighten us Alan ?

The lady who's posterior will reside on that bit is a Brazilian national and she even counted the stars and reckoned it was Dead On

What do you need "enlightened on" ? ... I simply lived there for approx 3.5 years , so know the place well , the people well , and am fluent in the language (NOT Spanish ... as so many think !! :beerjug:)
 
If thats the fella who used to work for Ulsterbus, he did a great job recovering the seat on my GSA. Very quick and not too expensive. :thumb2
 
I don't quite get what you mean by this bit?[/QUOTE]

It's just that not many people in this part of the world really know anything about Brazil ... so it's kind of curious to me when I see / hear of someone wanting a Brazil flag on their bike seat !! .... "Ordem e Progresso" isn't something that clicks with most people !!

time for ZZZZZZZZZZ's ... recce for Ulster Rally tomorrow (Q ... 13 hrs of driving and trying to concentrate !!)
 
Ah I thought the flag was wrong for a moment there

Sometimes you can be quite cryptic You Know

Yes it definitely is an enigma to a lot of folks I didn;t know about the Portuguese until Wendy said

When they were over there Tom has some stunning photos of what a 125 can do!! Towing trailers and Bales of Hay Water Butts with water in them and the Daddy of all Tourtafeck accessories 2 x 60 liter plastic drums with with lids as panniers

Enjoy your recce

Some more of Stevie's handiwork on my GSA's seats - recovered with grippier vinyl and had different density of foam put into the front seat to make it a bit more comfortable:aidan

Quick turnaround too:thumb2
 
Called down to see Stephen this morning with a couple of seats I need sorted. Having seen his premises, examples of his work and chatted to the man himself he's getting the business. Nice guy who knows what he's doing, great to find Simon local for this sort of thing. :)
