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?

I’ve not heard of boyds, I’ll check it out

I can see a shocked face in the tail unit.....does that mean I'm blind yet....

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.

Actually managed a ride on the storm,before the StormAnd this is a new addition to the stable

Nice looking thing. CRK kit, which lump has it got?

Its a Sprint 900 lump,dynojet,and about 20 kilos,lighter.So goes very well

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.

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?
