Sure as hell isn't mine! I hate rim tape too!

Belongs to Donnie Ables.

Yes, free tires for life!

Then it's OK to have a Michelin sticker on the bike.

Anything you want Tony!

p.s. Actually that Michelin is there to cover some rash on the fairing

Mr.R

I bought a "spare" 851/888 just to get some of the tasty parts it had on it, these inc' a QB Carbon Corse fairing, the previous owner had spent a lot of time removing the black from the stickers, so that the carbon showed through before having them clear laquered over.
...and yes there's a huge Michelin sticker on each of the side panels.

On another note both of the 2nd hand carbon front huggers I've bought have come with the FAT Michelin man on them, has anyone else noticed that Monsieur Bibendum has lost weight over the years?

I'm not adverse to the odd sticker as long as they're in period, but I usually fit them to cover some minor damage.😉

How many 851/888's out there haven't got an AGIP sticker on them somewhere?
How many of us have ever used AGIP products? I've never seen them for sale anywhere in the UK.

A long weekend up at Steve B's and I've put on almost 4lbs. 😯
I didn't notice the bike going any slower on the way home though, but Steve B did say it was downhill all the way to Cornwall.

I had a great time thanks mate! Oh and my girls loved Leanne's home made chocolate cake.

I used AGIP when I first got my 851 because my local Dealer stocked it. He then went to Motul, then Silkolene. I now use Golden Spectro because that's what Rick stocks.

This is my favorite Michelin Man sticker. http://stickyzilla.com/CarTruckVehic...ManFinger.aspx

Mr.R

Hi Marvin,
I've seen the pissed Monsueir Bibendum before, in fact I've got a couple Ness had bought for me but never fitted them.
I did use to have a sticker/decal that looked just like the Fast by Ferracci logo but read "Fast as Fuck".
