Craig I kept looking at the mudguard thinking , 'is it, isn't it' :laugh: Came to the conclusion it was vinyl, didn't have a clue it was painted.
Brilliant :)
"The trails of the world be countless, and most of the trails be tried.

You tread on the heels of many, till you come where the ways divide.

And one lies safe in the sunlight, and the other is dreary and wan, Yet you look aslant at the Lone Trail, and the Lone Trail lures you on....

....Bid good-bye to sweetheart, bid goodbye to friend, The Lone Trail, the Lone Trail, follow to the end.

Tarry not, and fear not, chosen of the true;

Lover of the Lone Trail, The Lone Trail waits for you"

The rear is a Mefo Stonemaster from Zen Overland very aggressive looking for a road tyre, but it gives me loads more confidence offroad than the K60 I used to have. :evil:

Thanks Tyrant, its a neat little trick that I originally saw on RC car body's and has now been adapted and perfected by pro airbrush painters, they get it looking real with a few different shades. Mine has mistakes in it but the decals hide most of them. :blush: :woohoo:

Glad you like it mate. ;) I'm toying with the idea of trading my bike for something more offroad orientated and the 640 is looking like a real contender at the moment.

Can the 640 wheelie using throttle only? That's my biggest bug bear with the Africa twin.

with a full tank of fuel its a bit top/front heavy. but with less fuel its obviously a lot lot better. easy get the front up 2-3 gear ( with a bit of practice ). can be a bit sore on the arse when travelling on the motorway but i suppose any bike like this would be.people complain about the vibes, but again what do you expect from a single. they defo have character/major grin factor/posing factor ( sorry ;) ) i travelled down to italy through france/belgium/holland/germany/austria/italy with no problems at all. only on the way back it blew the base gasket in reims and had to get it repatriated and i flew home ( a long story ) but apart from that its been spot on. i honestly dont get out on it as much as i want too at the moment ( broke my collar bone 12 months ago and its still playing up, and suffering with kidney stones now ) but its one bike i would never sell. its got a full titanium akra on it and that makes it a hell of a lot more responsive. i saw somone was selling one on here the other day. looks a nice bike. so now i gotta start saving up to get it "REPSOLD" up......Cheers Matt.
