Default couldnt be bothered to polish the car today

so i polished my bikes instead

I need to get a hobby that means i dont have to polish anything

Just a shame it took the sad loss of my dad for me to aquire these bikes

Funny how your tastes change, when I started riding (17 yrs ago) I hated stuff like that but they are absolutely stunning to me now and I'd happily have one in my lounge to look at.

Very cool bikes them, if you want a hobby that doesn't involve polishing, go rallying, just a good jet wash at the end of each event is all it takes.
