Another one stolen off Bike Exif...

I think that's pretty cool, although I'm sure Cheesy will hate it :)

It's an affordable base bike that's been customised without going over the top. It's very 'clean' in it's lines without any un-necessary bits.

Like the general shape but no airbox, on a dirtbike?
The filters get shit up even with an airbox, nevermind without.

Yeah, but White Thunder is a bit like White Power.

I actually quite like it, though it could do with side panels and an airbox.
There was a film called Blue Thunder in 1983, about a police helicopter, I went to see it at the cinema with a girl called Marie who was very happy for me to have my hand in her bra for most of the film.

Blue Thunder was a poor mans Air Wolf.

Tho they did have the comedy relief 'Rolling Thunder', two inept blokes in a van.

The film was before the TV series, and was a lot better, though I may just be remembering Marie's ample cleavage.

Yeah, Gazelles aren't exactly quiet, though if it was an Apache you'd be deaf.

I had a TTR250 'Raid' model. Fitted a Wiseco 280 kit, full CRD stainless system and a White Bros filter. It was great fun. Got tugged for hoiking a minger up Guildford High St. one Saturday afternoon. Luckily the policeman sent me on my way with just a telling off.
