Dunno mate, I wasn't with him. The training place is still based round the back apparently.
Said they are selling brand new kwaks and suzukis and a small section selling clothing etc.

sorry there should of been the word "NEW" before suzuki.

Bike and clutch feel fantastic now that a bush has been made up for the lever, feels like a totally different bike setting off now, no wonder it was such a pain getting it to launch with the amount of movement the canal had as the lever pivoted loosely around

Also love the fact the bike has a proper fairing, cleaned it when I got in from the birds and because it's got a rads that span from the yoke to the bottom of the engine covering the entire front the engine stays spotless both from the sides and the front

Going to knock something up to protect the linkages and bottom of the shock, area soon, was covered in tar from that road works in Yorkshire was a nightmare to get off! So if that can get to it easy then so can grit / salt and all the other crap

Ones that's sorted I'll be very happy with the protection the fairings offer

Went down the motorway, empty motorway so no spray, in the rain in jeans other night and got off the bike to find legs was dry and my chest too :-) that screen is worth its weight in gold!
