Fazer's headers look pristine!


Like myself, they look ok from distance but close up a bit rougher ;)
How far away are we talking for yourself? :silent:

MX racer Bob Hannah was born here (Lancaster Ca), but I've no idea where. Probably the local hospital...

I logged on earlier and saw the Skubster's latest challenge , and while I was out on parcel delivery/shopping errands today passed through Thame so took this

I thought he was born there, but have just googled it to check before posting, and no - although he apparently lived most of his adult life here (that's his house in the second pic, right opposite the church and graveyard) when he was in the UK and died there, he was born in Douglas.

So it doesn't count but as I'd taken the pics I thought that I may as well post them anyway, was a cracking ride- I rarely ride the Multi solo but I should do more, the suspension is brilliant on the bumpy A & B roads around here, really rides like a big and very fast Supermoto ( with a big ugly top box :D )

It's fine by me @Tricky if you want to pick another challenge.

Best of the challenge answers so far. Its not like I'm a beegees fan or owt, but I thought that was a very interesting reply to the challenge! :thumbup:

Must be said, that top box spoiled it a bit though! ;) :D

Careful now. I have a Fiat, although the slam panel is stamped "Mopar". But no V8 power.
