It's folded up. No rubber, which makes it hard to see.

No it's French registered,
A lot of the French guys use UK tax disk holders to hold their insurance certificates.
As mentioned earlier it's registered in Nord Pas de Calais near the Belgian border, that's why I thought the owner must have ridden at least 100 miles to get there (Lille to Weise is about that distance)
As for the brake pedal, it loops over the kickstart, must like a lot of gear change levers you see, in fact it might be a gear change lever!

I think the bike looks great and is obviously used for hard riding around Europe, probably had a few crashes looking at the odd bits and bobs attached to it. The only thing wrong that I can see is that a French rider is showing an outward display of affection to the Brits by flying the Union Jack flag - very unusual 
On a more serious note is there any way to age the bike from the number plate like there is in the UK? And in one of the pics I can see what look like two British Army Armstrongs / Harley MT350's

they were on Belgian plates which stay with the owner, not the bike. (I think the German system is the same)
All the best

They need to use nyloc nuts to get them to stay with the bike . Of Course , the Germans dont have this problem .

Yes they do, but German number plates are so large they are very easy to find, I think you could see them from space :mrgreen:
