Anyway, got it all back together and ran it up with no dramas. Fast forward a week and blue smoke starts again.....FFS.... Dropped the engine again, full strip down to component parts and replace all the piston rings and some of the bearings. Not quick and not easy!

Still, in the middle of all this an opportunity presented itself to get hold of one of the most beautiful bikes of all time. It's a short term investment but it keeps me smiling while the GSXR gets mended. As if it was all going too well though, I dropped the GSXR engine whilst reinstalling it and cracked a case! More swearing....

Hope all is well with you all and I do keep checking in every few days just to see how old Kev L has got in my absence!
