    For a start, the photo's been taken with a wide angle lens which throws the whole perspective out.

    Why you would think there's anything amiss with the rear shock or the front tyre from that shot is beyond me.

    I think you're just being a twat.

    Really? I don't see any barrel distortion indicative of a wide angle lens, do you?

    Because I'm not a smug self-righteous know-it-all like you?

    Or could it just be because the rear looks very low [close-to-rear tyre] and like a weak rear shock... But then I'm not a smug self-righteous know-it-all, so what do I know....

    Not at all, just a novice asking a genuine question and if you insist on looking at everyone through shit-tinted lenses, that's not my problem...

    See the outward tilt on the side of the building?

    The photo has been taken standing very close to the bike looking down on it with a wide angle lens.

    I would have thought as a photographer you'd have noticed that.

    Had considered those factors, but still looked funny to me. But if I knew everything, I'd be Katman...

    Maybe you're just as crap at taking photos as you are at riding motorcycles.

    Does look a little odd, but I think maybe just a mixture of bad camera shot and inattention to detail in the paint job. Was going to paint my one in those colours, but I think I will go all black again.
    For a man is a slave to whatever has mastered him. Keep an open mind, just dont let your brains fall out.

    Maybe... but then I'm a young motorcyclist, so there's room to improve and improve I will.

    Your sunny disposition is none of my concern but only entirely yours, so excuse me if I lose no sleep over your comments.
