| 343801 | 2005-04-15 23:14:00 | Original is great! It's a shame people have got used to no motorcycle cops, a white fairing used to have cars pulling over to let you pass. I have been in Wellytown for three days, and there I saw a queue of three cops on bikes - they looked like they were out for a training session. Couldn't make out the model, but they all had white fairings like the old days - a bit more aerodynamic than the one Winnie has to protect his chook pillion (or tank) passengers. |

| 343802 | 2005-04-16 02:49:00 | heres mine Winston beama's toy (sal.neoburn.net) after market fairing and top and side boxes Lovely. Is that a Windjammer fairing? I find the one I have is too short and a lot of air presses on my helmet. My boxes are smallish but do the job. Had a few laughs over the years with motorists suddenly slowing down or pulling over. :D |

| 343803 | 2005-04-16 03:22:00 | Hi again. More years ago than I like to think.... plastic screens were coming in. with a sort of waterproof lower section to protect the legs. Our local police in Liverpool had a simple Police sign above the handlebars behind the screen . Some members of the club I was in started copying this with the word Public after a cartoon in the local rag. That really caused motorists to react. :cool: | Scouse (83) | ||
| 343804 | 2005-04-16 03:46:00 | I hope those chooks wear helmets when they go riding Winston. :dogeye: Gotta love those wee chooks guarding the beastie. :D I wonder whether they will take turns going for a spin or whether they can all fit on the tank/pillion at once? Winston MUST remember their helmets though! :dogeye: :D |

| 343808 | 2005-04-16 07:53:00 | yes its a Windjammer. I have no trouble with wind blast and my helment. The R80 dosn't come fitted with a fairing or the side and top boxes R80R does come fitted with a fairing. both come with leg warmers though :thumbs: |

| 343809 | 2005-04-17 08:57:00 | Various - "old bike", "a good do up and restore" etc etc" Hah! And again Hah! Doubting Thomases . Well, some fresh fuel, cleaned sparkplugs, a new battery and voila - the beast is on the road again . Took a few pushes down the street and fired immediately . What a relief . And a joy . I'd forgotten the thrill of motorcycling . Just a small matter of fixing the starter motor, registration and WOF . Then off to relive my misspent youth . :D |
