Been meaning to check that place out. Will have to remember to go next time I’m around there. There’s a place called Boyds of Bedford (no points for guessing where it’s near) which looks interesting too - they seem to have events on now and again. Anyone been there?

Finally threw in the towel with this sinus infection and took a day off. Watched ‘Speed is my need’ on Netflix - interesting look into the psychology behind racing. Entertaining watch to any with a spare hour and no garage!

Basingstoke and back😁. Lovely to be out in the sun even with grit on the road....slippery in the shadows tho'🤔. Doesn't like choke to start so sounds like new starter valves are needed... Took a while to get going in 6 deg.

That looks fun. Strangely, very similar to a Triumph special built by the PO of my VTR. It wasnt a Polish guy from Chertsey was it? His was same colour, similar seat, pipes and chainguard. It was also very loud apparently!

I fancied having a go a one of those kits before I bought the Daytona, I think they’re a nice looking bike. Decided to go for the old school ting in the end though. :thumbup:

No mate,I got it locally,from a friend who built it himself,and he has numerous projects on the go.Like the one in this picture.Are you an ex-bootneck? :mrgreen:
