My Beloved GZ!
Well, here it is ... I took more than a few in places I shouldnt :oops: :2tup: (and got many funny looks on a dodgy, wettish/windyish night) but heyho, I dont care. I love riding ma bike and I love my bike full stop so, why the hell not eh!!
I've taken off the rear seat, added a nice wee chrome clock, some bullet caps and set of crash bars (Fehling) with nothing else as yet....however, Im just about to add some customisation to the tank/fenders and maybe panels too. Im also gonna add some other wee extras, maybe spots and we'll see how much cash is left ! Movin on.....I rode on around a bit and snapped from away again... ...and riding on again! ...to a nice big cliff! Last one! Next lot I'll take will be after I've done more mods!! Then, I'll wait on decent weather!!!! :2tup:

These photos are awesome. I'm in the process of archiving all of the photos on the website. Can I use these?
I really like the finish on the 125 engine case. It would look nice over here on the 250. What part of Scorland are you from? I spent the x-mas before last in Edinburgh and Kirkaldy (sp) and took a little 12 hour tour of the rest of the place. |

I bent a few laws, parking on pavements and such like to improve the vista but heyho, no harm done. I think when I uploaded the photos they got distorted somehow as they seem sharper on my PC ... maybe just my eyes though. Yes - by all means use the photos .... no problem there at all - glad you liked them as I say. When I make some further mods to my bike (hopefully next week with some customisation of the tank/fenders), I'll go out again, hopefully the weather will be better and I'll get more photos! It drives the wife mad of course, my obsessing about/general love of the bike but thats another part of the fun eh :2tup: All those shots were all taken in and around Edinburgh where I live...yep, I know Kirkaldy... also nice over there too. Did you take in the Highlands whilst visiting?? Some of the best scenery in the world up there BUT, the roads can be trecherous and the weather is less than brilliant !! However, when the weather is good, its awesome up there. Anyways, more pics when the weather improves and feel free to use these if you like.

very good pictures
without the rear seat the bike looks cool see my picture here: http://www.gz250bike.com/viewtopic.php?t=687 at the hole from the rear seat you can put another tail light with LEd or regular bulb |

Yep - nobody wants to ride on the bike with me (dunno why - its a 125 - no rocket for sure :rawk: ) and as it IS a 125, that suits me so, no point in having that seat on....I agree, I reckon it loos better without the seat. Yah, Im thinking SOMETHING is defo going into that hole!! Though I had a couple of ideas...maybe a wee flag (possibly thought about getting somethign like a scooter flag - a Lambretta flag or similar, and modifiying it to fit in there...) ... we dont have hardly anyone over here sellign flags and flag mounts!!! Its mainly US and Harley ones that seem to be made these days so, I need to improvise. But aye, a further light would also look good, as woulld, a handy wee camera mount!! Decisions!! :2tup: Cheers...

Personal pick, I'd go with a light over a flag, but that's just me.
Yeah we spent some time in highlands. I got to experience some nice Hee-lan Coo and ate the best vegetable stew I've ever had at some quaint little mom-n-pop diner. We also stopped for a visit at Urqhart(sp) castle. It was really nice. I'd go back if it weren't for my pocketbook. |

Recently I saw a motor cop (policeman) with a light there, it was a flashing break light (flashes quickly when break light is on) it looked like a good safety improvement to me.
