And we'll see you in Canada...

Make sure none of your bikes are left in a cold garage with water as coolant. And keep batteries in the house.
Yep, been told this, especially the battery being killed by the cold...

This engine...



Was in one of these boxes a fortnight ago:



Barrel’s only loosely assembled as it’s off for a rebore today to suit the new +20 piston and the new little end needs reaming.

Wheels are built with new tyres, forks and bearings all checked and renewed where needed. Gearbox is built so should be a rolling chassis with engine and gearbox, tanks and mudguards fitted within nother couple of weeks.

It’s great having a bored, retired dad who has no petrol to go anywhere on his own bikes hehe

New to me VFR



At 27,000 miles, I'm looking forward to giving it a refresh -- suspension upgrade and perhaps lighter wheels to counteract the weight and capitalise on that potent V4.

Budget CB500 track bike has had a few upgrades. High rear seat race fairing and rear sets means I should be more comfortable and no longer be worried about touching the pegs down!

Brands Hatch tomorrow to test it all out!

I may stick a build thread up on here if anyone cares? Planning to turn it into a race bike slowly...

That is fantastic! I usually end up with my flask cup on the floor as I have no where suitable!
