I'm guessing it's a customised early GSXR David, definitely not a factory original. ;D

Bingo! I know you rather see pictures of my Ural.

Don't really buy anything "in a moment of weakness", but I may buy something on an impulse - if that is the same?? ???

last thing was a 1978 BMW R100S "barnfind", that I hid at work from my wife for 4 months until it was ready to ride. She likes it!

Beautiful R100S!     I bought one just like it in a moment of weakness, well that's what it'll look like when it's done, same color and all.   It came with mis-matched bodywork, but, I bought a complete bodywork set in that color, including fairing off ebay.     The seller neglected to mention the failed liner and rust inside the tank   >:( :(

So, it's been waiting in the project queue for a few years now as I've been avoiding the PITA job of trying to remove that failed liner w/o ruining the nice paint on the outside.

Ha ha, a classic example of the duality of the human brain mate, you can love the beauty of a Corvette or custom gixxer, while appreciating the tractor like qualities of a Urinal...... ;D
I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"
