Yes, that is Stella in orange .. though the name didn't arrive until the change to blue.
But that's not Hector .. its Hellcat's other monster, an M400 to be precise.

Mr Gazza · 29-12-2017, 04:00 PM

Ah, in that case I've not seen Hector yet.
I should have known better as I knew she had an M400 and the reg is visible in another photo... M400 DUC.

Still keen to see any photos of former bikes of the year.

My s4 to s4r winning bike
Base bike 2002 red s4 with road race fairing . Bought the swingarm singlesided, wheels,footrests and exhaust decided to powdercoat frame and wheels red. Came out a bit too Tomato for my tank so repainted in Pearlescent white which had a flip of mint green and pink in the light. Started Jan 2008 finished it around end of March 2008

Now I might be wrong on this, but I think this is Deans bike (2014)

That must have the year after his s4rs got cat C'd then. Lovely looking both bikes.

Thanks Jonzi and Albie.
Nice work on the S4-R Albie.
Jmo's Smeegal was always a peach in all it's guises... Clever girl!

This one any good?? It is a picture of a winning bike....

Trying to find somewhere other than photof*c-kit

Mr Gazza · 30-01-2018, 07:46 PM

You just won't let it lie will you?...

Most important thing to note on the photo is my splendid UKMOC club mates helping me out hundreds of miles from home after I had been a 2@.

It's also the last known photo of my original trip re-set knob, which dropped off, probably less than a mile down the road.
Once again my splendid UKMOC club mates helped me get a replacement sorted and a CAD model of a knob for 3D printing.
You can read the story of my Knob here. Must be the UKMOC thread with the most innuendo ever?
