2005 Blez in the VT Bananaskin

Yours Truly re-united with the fairing which graced the original Flying Banana for all the years I owned it, and for two years before that.
Having rescued the fairing from Royce's garden Bob Wreford first fitted it to a Honda Helix before moving it to this VT600 custom and riding it to the annual Beaulieu gathering in 2005. I was touched by the "Esprit du Blez" sticker he had specially made up, even though it should really have been "Esprit DE Blez"! The original Flying Banana, now owned by Bob Winsper, sports a completely different fairing which can be seen here: http://www.bikeweb.com/node/391 on the Flying Banana page which shows the Banana in all its incarnations, from its creation in 1981 in the Royce Creasey's Creations folder. Meanwhile, the original Banana fairing now graces a GPZ500 as you can see elswhere on this page. Paul Blezard
