This is probably going to be my last blog update before Christmas as I'm going to be using the car to get my into and out of London on Monday and Tuesday. This should permit me a quick getaway on Christmas Eve as I head down to the in-laws for five days of relaxing and quality time.
This morning I took advantage of the decent weather and free time and cleaned up the Monster, removed those horrid stickers on the exhausts and gave it a fresh coating of ACF-50.
On the topic of stickers, personally I think they have no place on a bike, with the possible exception of a rider logo on the screen. I know some are used to cover marks and scratches, but I just don't think the bring anything extra to a bike. Badges are fine and in my opinion should be cherished as you should never cover or remove a manufacturers badge. It has to be said thou, that both Kawasaki and Ducati have possible the largest badges on their tanks anyway. All the stickers I get, normally with the purchase of a new piece of kit, get stuck onto my Halfords tool box. Its no £2000 Snap On box so defacing it with the Alpinestars logo seems to work quite nicely. Anyway, here a picture of the now stickerless rear end of my Monster which looks much better for it.
