Well, I am truly humbled and most certainly honored Sir!! Many thanks Bruce for considering me worthy of such an award! I must say its a bit of a shock to see a photo of yourself in the opening banner. So, for my speech, I would like to thank................................. Na, here's some photos instead!! Here we are in present day guise.......   As you say Bruce, the Scram has spent a lot of time in bits and is a long way from standard now. but the present setup is: Zard Cross (loud!) 2:1 exhaust Airbox gone!!!  790 cams Thrux seat Ikons and Hagons and stuff Newly fitted Barkbuster hand guards. And a lot lot more!! And a few of the previous incarnations..........................    And meeting a previous BOTM winner!!................  And another!!..................  Another pose...............  And turning back the clock to the day I bought it!!..............  A lot of water under the bridge since that one was taken! And Ive loved every minute of it! Long may it continue!!  (BTW Bruce, my missus just noticed you put Feb 2009 over the opening banner picture. I know its old, but not that old!!  V. |

Great stuff Graeme, well deserved and some nice pictures there as well.
Are those Barkbusters any good and how quick are they to fit?

Well done Graeme, well deserved!
I can verify that the exhaust is LOUD! When we were out at the weekend, Graeme started the bike up at the petrol station, she gave a mighty backfire, and everyone ducked!
I think they thought the Taliban had landed in town! ;D

(BTW Bruce, my missus just noticed you put Feb 2009 over the opening banner picture. I know its old, but not that old!! Ahh.......You mean it's not 2009 anymore? See,I told you.The grey matter has gone grey,along with my beard. I did notice that I spelled February wrong,but I thought,what the hell,everyone will just think that's the way the Yanks spell it,and the Yanks are too illiterate to notice,so I'll just leave it.It's too big of a pain in the ass to change it. So,we'll just pretend it's '09 for another month. ;D |
