    I didn't even realise that :o I went up Patricks Hill and seen some, but not many people standing at the wall looking into the field, then i seen people in the field not social distancing and i was like what the hell is going on there, didn't realise they were filming. I went down the hill after taking the photo so i might be on Young Offenders :pac:

    Hopefully I’ll be out on the busa soon to upload photos. Took a trip down ‘Pana’ as we call it here in Cork this evening.

    Not the most up to date photos, but not much has changed other than I took off the backrest. Changed the headlight to a black LED lamp from perfled also.

    Very nice!

    Maybe it's just the light, but yours looks a bit different to mine. My rims are more of a charcoal colour, and the engine casing on mine looks a lot lighter than yours.

    Things were alot different then (00-04) and it's a pain in the damn ass to be honest. Was chatting with fellow bikers the other night and this was part of our discussion, the attached links are what i plan on doing to it once everything else with the busa & blade are done. That bike is down on power even for the size engine in it.

    You can’t beat it. I’m off out for a spin there in a while for essentials, only two wheels in this weather :)

    A beast of a bike which has taken everything I've thrown at it. In all the bikes I've owned since 1985 this is by far my fav.

    For me its certainly been a long term relationship. Its funny because I only test rode it for a laugh, my son was buying the 800GS.

    This one was fairly rough by anyone's standards, but when I took it for a good spin I loved it. My son got us a great deal on the two bikes, I think he's had about four different bikes in the three years and I just can't part with this one.

    Its coming up to a big service which tbh I can't do (well I can't be bothered), but I'll take the hit on the chin and hopefully keep it for a few more years.
