You can get a lovely mottled finish with sandpaper that's for sureHe spent hours on those with a sander I'll have you know
Here's yours, nicely squared off
Just found this bit of footage from 2018 when I was on my RSV4 road bike. Mary Hinge is on there on his V4, there are a few moto 2 bikes that were in the next garage and Michael Rutter who comes past me like I'm stood still on a triumph street triple.
Let loose with the critique I promise not to do an Everclear........I think.

Doesn’t that lanyard flapping about get on your nerves ?
That sounds lovely!
No because that is the camera view and not my view when riding. It was in my peripheral view but not enough to bother me. It was actually attached to the camera as a safety precaution if the camera came unstuck.
You should pick one up, it just gets better and better the more miles I put on it.
I need a sump guard, hooks for the rear passenger foot rests and I'd like to either ceramic coat black or put a CF shield on the exhaust. That's about all. If the form fitting Akra actualy provided any benefit I'd get it but 5K+ for .8kilo weight reduction is retarded.
The race Akra kit adds 6hp but looks like shite to me.
A few of the V4's maiden outing.
Not the best quality being a picture of a picture but this is me on my 999 before I crashed and rebuilt it as a fila knockoff. I was lapping at just about 2min a lap but I managed to get it down to 1:55 in the end. Today marks the third year I have been unable to ride on the track, or at all as the case currently sets. Every year since 2016 a small group of my friends and my wife and myself went to the Wiskey Hill race way better known as the Palmer track. 2023 I had paid for all 3 days of the event, I delivered the bike to the track on Friday just before the event starting on Sunday thru Monday. That night I ended up in hospital with a kidney infection, got out just in time to go pack up the bike and gear to go home. Next year and this year were cancelled due to shoulder surgery. I miss it so bad, I cant except never riding on any track, especially Palmer, ever again. My friends are currently there and its too painful for me to even stop by there(only 30 mins from my house/prison) to visit and watch. I had to take the picture that I posted down off the wall, it bothers me to see it right now. Get out and ride, you never know what might be your last ride, track or otherwise.
