You might want to take down that picture since I think there are some copyright issues involved and could get this website in trouble. A link to the article would be fine.

Nah it should be OK ... I'll link you to the magazine when they have it up. In the meantime you can by an Apple computer version through they're store or an Android version through Play or Google store ... or just search for Practice Sportsbike magazine.

That was a good trick with the pooled water/washing bike shot Boris. :thumbsup:

Getting the water right took a long time. Obviously I washed the bikes before but that left a lot of bubbles and every time I used a brush or hose to move them the soap would bubble up again. then I had to almost flood where I was.
I used a low set tripod and a 10 second delay, but had to go around the puddle so I didn't make any waves .... easy when you get the hang of it.

I had a the project bike (red + white) wet because I'd wet n dried the tank to do the rust. I put the fairing lowers in the pic but when I got the bike the fairing brackets were bent or missing and I still needed one more to mount them.
I got Kushitani in the pic though .... even if you can't read the logo

See the skills one learns from tinkering with a few old bikes. ClapHands
I bought a copy on monday;the last one was probably in the 70s just to keep up with Ogri and Malcolm's antics.

I saw that- great article.

Practicalsportsbikes is a great mag and like many other mid life crisis victims got me back into bikes, and put an FZR in my garage :thumbsup:

I really hate the fact that we never got those bikes over here. Sweet pictures.

It's kinda finished - there's a fork seal weeping - but here you go with the fairings on.

We certainly got the shaft over here when it comes to those beautiful bikes.
