"Rode it" yahoo, all be it for 20 mins, but wow it felt good. Not getting another Ski trip in :thumbdown: . so the bikes gonna get used again. :thumbup: .

It was bloody cold though and so many leaves still around.( i do live in the forrest though). Iam off today after some decorating :thumbdown: to see 10CC live at bournemouth.

Just changed my insurance from MCE to Aviva ( MCE are crap imho) Cant stand the phone call crap with the bike etc, and that Knob in the Big helmet at BSB needs sorting out. £92 fully comp, full recovery and home start, 90 days EU cover,£1000 leathers and helmet and Full NCB protection, with all my mods covered, so quite happy.

yes, the X-wing is staying. It works (can't honestly say if it has done anything for top end, but it has done wonders for part-throttle power and response, making ideal for street riding), so it's not going anywhere. As for a dyno run, I will likely have one done this summer.

Went for a spin for the first time in ages on Blacky, headed up to Bury St.Edmunds and stopped at Crazy Horse Customs for a giant burger & coffee.

They have some interesting bikes: Image

This has a 450 four stroke crosser motor

Check out the frame: Image

Is this what you used to race Al? MZ? :wink: Image

Was holding on pretty tight due to the cold weather :thumbdown: Image

Sweet innit! It's a TM 450 motor bored out to 528cc I think.

Here's all the specs, I bet it's a right hoot! http://www.krazyhorse.co.uk/krazy-horse ... 530se.html

I don't like the "cafe racer" tag they've given it. I think the Ton up boys would have died laughing if you rocked up on that.

Yes but they do go a nice colour. Much better than rust anyhow.
