Ten years on

Postby GRAgusta » Sun Feb 03, 2013 4:31 pm

Thankfully the snow has melted and I have been able to get some photos of the old girl approaching ten years old. I haven't been into many "upgrades" as I prefer to keep the bike close to original.

Any ways after a bit of a spruce up over winter, here is a little Spot the Difference contest .......

Yes sadly some of the bolt heads are showing signs of corrosion when you get close up, I 'll have to work some more on them - or replace them ? :roll:

A few things have been replaced along the way, new for old.

Hey don't knock it. That jacket was mine when I was nineteen, it was the only one we had which didn't swamp Nikki when she was 10, and at 20 it fits Nikki much better.

If I lose a little more weight with my cycling this summer I might even get to wear it again. Waste not want not.

Alas the Daytonas are new, or at least were replaced in 2008.
