The obligatory intro; and a nod to all...

I was worried it wouldn't be enough after a few years solely on the addictive brutality of modified sport bikes at full chat, everywhere, but after my first ride out on it today, I'm more than happy. What a beautiful bike, in so many ways. 

Bought it as a bit of a slag, to be honest; full dismantle and strip down, some welding, some fibreglassing, some pipes, electricals, some of everything actually, inc snapped header bolts - and it no longer feels like the vague handling on 11yr old rock-hard boots & neglected-hatchet job maintained bike I rode home.  Set the suspension up properly - All 4 corners were at odds with each other, threw 1300£ at it...   I paid 4k for it, it weren't worth that. It is today.

I'm a happy man tonight.

ADMIN: For some reason Location is not showing against posts - I've mailed Mike about it to find out why (It is for you Seth, cos you have put your Location in twice - once in Location and again in a secondary "enter anything" field that does display)

It's set in his profile but does not seem to display it - nor for anyone else come to mention it, and it was the other day....will look into it
Nothing to do.............all day to do it....I love retirement :lol:

VladTepes

Sorry hadn't seen this.
Not sure why the location has disappeared, I'll look into it.... Thanks for the heads up.
