The positive things thread

I took my R18 to have serviced and the reverse recall done. Looked at all the normal on the floor new stock.... saw this....

One detail I think the designers missed is diguising the keyless fob with a double role as a fake key to plug in the headlamp if one so wished. That was a totally characteristic vintage thing for almost half a century on the models:
R25/3, R26, R27
R51/2, R51/3,
R67,
R67/2 (ab 1953)
R67/3
R68
R50, R50/2
R60, R60/2
R69, R69S
R50/5, R60/5, R75/5
Would have loved that.

Since it is shiney bling and véry retro been looking at fitting the ingnition key cover to the R18 headlamp but it looks to be a NoNo. The R18 lamp unit is too curved and short

Newby here, bought mine on Thursday (blind!!) Arrives Tuesday. Had a couple of K1600’s and a 1200GSA, so hope I like it, I really really want to. Only ever seen one in the showroom. Will post a pick once it’s up to speed.

Congrats and welcome aboard mate.
