Pelican 1610's , HT Skid plate, Sprockets & Chain, New Rubber, Acerbis

Lookin' good Sprock!

You do have a penchant for wardrobe sized cases on the back of your bikes don't you!?

Cheerie pip, SB

The name's Sprock.................................James Sprock Agent 0001!

Those are Martini shakers Sprockeroony. I want to travel with you!

Actually we had some lovely Cointreau tonight, poured over fresh peaches, then managed a glass afterwards!

Cheers, SB

Wing is up next Pete but that will take a full year I expect and will require
some cash OH la too, gonna start on it tho soon as I'm done with the
93 Hurricane HID & carb job.

State of Maine just went with a new Inspection Sticker/ MOT routine this
year so I'll have to find some quick release pipe fittings soon

"Those are Martini shakers Sprockeroony. I want to travel with you!"
Figured me out Seb - just so happens @3.25 inches in diameter they'll hold all my
fav' kinds of refreshments

BTW here's where you can buy them super cheap !

Figure those cases are just a bit too big for around town stuff so
I grabbed a set of 20mm army surplus ammo cans $17/ea for runs
to the local store and they top load - so a bit handier with less chance
of dropping glass items etc.
Prolly paint them with truck bed liner

And get some damn crash bars on that pos, old man.
Oh wait.... I guess the bags will take care of that. lol...
