Good morning LJ, Yes they are unusual ,they 'll be changed BEFORE I post another , shows you're with friends when you don't have to worry about daft mistakes. But I will stand in the corner for 2 hours !!The colour was as close to my original bikes as the painter had in stock , and was 8 yrs ago, a light metalic blue with a dark blue metalic for the frame the blue has faded over the past 5 or so yrs to look a quite plain silver ,originally i used Jaguar shades of light & dark met blue when you could get cellulous .In cidentally the car in the background was on that day dead, minus 8 had killed it's ingnition ,modern tech eh?? the bike ,after standing for a year started after 6 kicks , quite surprised and impressed my non beliver in BSA/nonbiker Son . once again many thanks to all for your help with the picture reducer, best wishes bob
