The new collection of Bullitts have arrived in Melbourne.
The candy blue is really nice. It's a deep, clear coat over carbon, which wasn't quite so apparent in the press photos I've seen. If I wasn't going for a matt black bike I'd be tempted.
The Ace Café special edition, ideal for black bikes, and the Scratch. The former is carbon, and quite a lot lighter than the latter. I think that the Scratch looked better in press photos than it does in reality.
With the dark visor in, I look a lot better. And like a '50s spaceman!

I'm not sure what this model is, but it looks very cool!
The new Monster 1200R. It's meant to compete with the likes of the Superduke and S1000R, but I suspect is still a few steps behind. Looks better than them, though.
There was an XDiavel out of its crate this time. It's got a lot of nice detailing on it.
But the way that the hoses that are routed down the back of the forks is somewhat messy.
And, for a change of pace, a Norton Commando. It's a better finished bike than the Thruxton R, but costs 50% more, and is probably less capable.

ok here you go sam , i am now the owner(shortly) of this its a 77 shovelhead kickstart and electric ,he has just got to change the twin tanks as there are from a different model , fit the boxes and period correct rear bars and trim .

Well after last years Fish and Chip meet at Gosport, I was so impressed with the Charity you guys supported (SERV Wessex), I went off and did my advanced motorcycle tests. I did both the iAM and ROSPA. Yesterday I did my first Blood bike run, so now officially a SERV Wessex rider
I have also bought another bike, as we use our own bikes as well as marked bikes. The Harley would not be good for turning up at hospitals in the early hours.
So this is my new ride
its not on its side, by the way.

After a good day of work, got to work on the bike to prep her for her new voice tomorrow. Oh I can't wait till UPS brings me the goods!
Yes, she will be cleaned tomorrow
-
i myself hve just put on some new fishtails on the road king i went for the unbaffled set thinking it might give the bike a nice rumble ..
ok think of a spitfire plane with stubby exhaust starting up thats how freaking loud it is my ears are bleeding , i fear i might have to put some baffles in :o
-
trust me you dont it will leave a ringing in your ears for aboult half an hour
-
i will try and maks a video
-
Prepped and dirty before clean and install
Reason why rear fender had to be off was because I had to chop off stock exhaust mount at the rear of the fender(as you can see they are gone in the 3rd picture)
Black ceramic heat coated inside and out
Cleaned up the rear end, makes cleaning and maintenance WAY easier
With chrome heat covers on, I wasn't cleaning my wheel….
It sounds LOUD AS F*** and has a great tone! I love it. Car alarm game will ensue.
I plan on taking a video either later today or tomorrow.
