  1. i would say looking at the pics its an xvs 650 custom but as said check the vin or the registration papers
  2. you dont happen to work with them do you???? only jking mike i live roughly 25 miles from glasgow but i've had the pleasure (if it can be called that) of working closely with the police(ex military) and i've been on the wrong side of them occasionally i still have to work with them now and then with local authority so that lets you know my judgement of them is NOT based on a whim! would i rather have military rule? its time you woke up the way the police are becoming its not far from that just now read the papers and daily the corruption within the force is highlighted i'm not completely against the police but in 45 years i've yet to meet an honest one!!!
  3. like me you must have been a frikin para haha
  4. there is a good reason for the police being refered to as "pigs" and i personally think its to polite!!!! due to the total lack of respect the police have towards the general public they themselfs normally inflame situations by refusing to admit they might have made a bad judgement or may have spoken to a person the wrong way after all they think they are always right hence people refer to them as pigs when the day comes that the police start to treat the public in a better manner then and only then they might gain some respect after all i was brought up being told respect was earned not just handed out
  5. PICK UP COILS common fault on virago's causing missfiring on one side
  6. i've been there!!!! got stopped for supposedly using a mobile(i did'nt even have one on my possesion) got to court they had the wrong name wrong road wrong date of offense and had said i was drinking after all the wrong stuff was proven in my favour i still got a cu80 fine got 4 points for that (the government guidelines say cu80= max 3 points) and fined £120 cops did'nt even turn up at court its a true saying "the only difference between the thugs on the street and the police is the fancy dress the cops wear"
