Mid-November Forum Picture

This is my first attempt at posting the forum pic. Forgive me if it has been used before, this is more of an exercise for me. I lost some of the quality during processing.

The only credit I can find is linked to a guy named Robert Bickford. I suspect the picture was taken as promo for the type of camera used rather than the actual image.

Nice job, LM! Very good first effort!

Aw jeez. Now we need to agree on some preposterous hooey facts to answer the several nimrods who’ll write in wanting to know how that guy pulled a wheelie and they can’t. Hmm… I’m going with: it’s custom tuned by StefanoB in Italy and has prototype Abarth plumbing in the original exhaust can.

All kidding aside though Great Job! posting the photo.

Maybe he put helium in the front tyre?

The guy's leathers say "Superbike" so I suspect this was from a magazine test when the Swing was released. Superbike UK were known for their lairy pictures.

Hello
is it giant driving or is it a mini bike,lol

/Stefan :

I'm impressed with the posting of the picture!
I think the geezer must have been off-roading on the Silverwing; it's filthy!

It's easy enough to find the same pic and the rider is on tarmac. Impressive as the wheelie is, my eyes were drawn to the more impressive rear end corrosion, to me that's just sheer laziness and neglect.

But it's an early Silver Wing and may have had multiple owners, spot the mirror extenders too.

Great Job on the first photo!!

What I like is the guy using the using the passenger footrests. Since I got mine, I've always felt that it could do with a pair of folding footrests up front too for slippy conditions.
