Cheers Brian....can always trust you to lighten my day....rather than enlighten.... Laughing

I put up a post on Practical sportsbikes facebook page also to ask the 2-stroke nuts there...and have ended up with some tube moaning that the bike is a V twin 500 and not an L twin

I even posted up this picture in my "defence" and now hes arguing V or L is the angle its fitted in the frame....which to me is still an L not a V...but not to him....re reckons its coz Bimota called it a "V"due...but then we all know how much artistic (autistic) license that Bimota employ...
