franki Dont worry the stickers are comin off once the rally is done then itll be time to either decided on a different colour or keep with the silver.

The gear surround was my biggest headache but have one now

The paint is summit the previous owner put on to prevent the pipes from goin furry over the winter months, if you get what i mean. Only thing is its nigh on impossible to get off. Thinking of polishing all the metal bits anyhow, but it isnt gonna be a fun job.

As for where i am in germany im hohne otherwise known as the middle of nowhere.

Thanks for the warm welcome, i really do need to pay up now.
