The bike looks really good, the rifle in the scabbard like that makes me cringe a bit.

I'm impressed by the bike. What is that firearm in the scabbard?

Ta,
I am guessing it will be airsoft or BB of the L85A1 (SA80), no rear locking pin, no breach block. That said it looks realistic, could get someone in a heap of trouble.

I understand that if you can prove your on your way to or from an organised airsoft event you would be allowed to use the scabbard. Either way the bike looks really tidy :) I don't normally like the sand colour but the black lettering and decals add a vintage look. Nice.

Nice job there mate. Put a lock on the scabard or you will come foul of the VCRA act. Also your proof of defence or the poilce could get sticky. Ie ukara ect.

Very nice looking bike, youve made a good job of that. :)

The rear pannier frame addition looks good too

Thanks for the comments about the picture some answeres:
1.Colour on the bike is army issue sand paint but touched up with Fosco Industrial spray paint from a can. Colour: Marsh grass RAL 1001 available on the internet
2.Gun is an SA 80 replica Airsoft painted in the authentic coulours. only carried when on display. This one is plastic but I have a much more realistic metal version. My army mates recon you can't tell it from the real thing.
Just resprayed the pump in sand as well.
