Damn!
I can't wait to see this puppy. 15 months well spent if you ask me Rob. The kids don't need a posh education. the school of life will still do them proud. Fit some paniers and a top box and you'll have the best of all words :lol: :lol: :lol:

With the extra power and torque, it would pull a sidecar easily, so that's the school run sorted.

Just a suggestion ....

You're gonna have to wait for a sunny day with dry roads and no salt residue.
it'll all come together then.

you might have to wait a couple of weeks, looking at the weather forecast.....
