Been daily commuting so no picturesque shots .... did clean it though and not bad for an 8 year old bike with 28200 miles on it and all weather use ;)

If you buy anything with a high collar, be sure it will be comfortable under your main jacket.

I'm fussy about that too. I hate anything 'choking' me. A buff or neck tube is a good compromise.

Last bike night of the year,they stop when the clocks go back,so I thought I'd call in.
I'm not sure how stripped back this BMW boxer is,it looks a lot smaller than the usual behemoths

I had a chat with one of the owners of the local bike shop,we bought a few bike's from him back when my mates & me were teenagers.He was on this Honda 175 & had just agreed a deal with a bloke who owned a 450 Black Bomber.

Here's some nostalgia,over the years thousands of LC's & VFR's must have been sold,these days you don't see many.

The next Bike meet's on Boxing day,that's only a couple of months away :shock:

Looks like the 1100GS. I had one of those and I much preferred it to the 1150GS I had later on. IIRC there isnt much actual weight difference but it felt a better and lighter bike.

I don't think it had a beak fitted,maybe that's what confused me.

Well the V prefix would put it in 1100GS territory. Interesting that the screen and the beak are missing...maybe in rebuild mode? (Can't see that you'd remove the screen as a design choice).
