    took some more Piccies and one with Tony before loading up 2 awesome lads who were goin into padgetts helped us on with it was a mega help and a nice confort havin 4 of us ease her in for the trip home

    and rushing to get home followed by getting drenched gettin it of the van at the workshop haha



    without further ado here's some pics under exposed a few so ya can see the flip paint a bit one of the highest quality paintjobs Ive seen in a long time its a limmited edition to comemorate hutchys 5 wins at the TT actually signed by hutchy on the tank to :thumbsup:

    all in all an awesome day just of back to the workshop to fit the tail tidy remove the rear pegs( lil b of a job bout 2 hours work lol) and fit the TT spec screen and the first HRC part to it only a small little thing but a very nice red touch
