Put the Bee stripe on, just before leaving for a party out of town.
Came out ok, a couple of wrinkles I couldn't smooth out in one spot around a reflector, might have to re do that bit at some stage
Hey! Wow!
Thanks for the birthday wishes
Went to another mates birthday (a 60th) out of town, but didn't tell anyone it was my birthday also lol, I'm not much of a birthday guy....

Yep, kept the 215 on the front.
295 on a 10inch on rear.
