I ordered a new Jacket to wear for work on the bike, must be a mistake as it's a Frank Thomas Aqua jacket with a detachable fleece lining and I've just paid £20 !!
I get knocked down but i get up again.

Fitted the indicator connectors that i had to buy during the week. I now have working rear indicators! Also taped up the leads because they look crap just dangling down from the bike. They're not brilliant, but a lot better than before.
Bike's looking good Duke!

Bargain of the year mate!! Frank Thomas is good stuff, I have some water proof gear from them and it hasn't let me down even in the hardest of rain! Highly recommended :-)Bratty wrote:I ordered a new Jacket to wear for work on the bike, must be a mistake as it's a Frank Thomas Aqua jacket with a detachable fleece lining and I've just paid £20 !!

Fwiw I have a pair of Oxford Aqua trousers. They have removable fleece liners, knee & thigh armour & have remained totally waterproof for the (about) 7years I have had them.
Unfortunately both the ankle zips have failed now, but they are so good I'm seriously tempted to get them repaired.
Duke, IMO your 748 was already draw droppingly lovely, & those wheels just tweak it still more.

It was http://www.megamotorcyclestore.co.uk" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
They've got some great deals.
I've got a one piece RST leather suit I've never worn and was gonna sell but the fit and the comfort is far better than my two piece Astars suit so I've decided to sell those and get a jacket for work and wear my RST leathers on a rideout.
I get knocked down but i get up again.
