  2. Andy,

    Steel toe capped Burberry safety slippers for the garage environment, I presume?

  4. Received my father's day present from my daughter - three bottles of wine courtesy of Virgin in a wooden box with straw:) - she put the wrong number on the address (I suspect a last minute internet purchase!!) - the neighbour grudgingly brought it round :D
    Now drinking wine.......

    This one hasn't seen the light of day for a while but this evening I managed to check off a few items from the to do list. Still to come (hopefully this weekend) are; slipper clutch, one missing tail piece mesh to be painted and glued, fuel tank breather valve and pipe to be fitted and alignment of the rear seat unit/airbox. All that will then remain will be to plumb in the underseat breather box and fit the BST rear wheel when it returns from its refurb in sunny Jo'burg, oh and drop in a deep sump 999S engine!

  7. Sorry to read that @Gandalf :(I hope you make a speedy recovery and all’s well in the end:upyeah:
     
  8. Guy Martin posted a 255.973 mph run at a Straightliners event today, wonder if it will be on TV soon :thinkingface:
     
  9. On/in what ? Andy
     
  10. Running from a bar of soap I’d imagine!
    :)
     
  11. Was that on a bike or the speed when he talks? :D
     
  12. Don't know, my mate Tom did a 213mph (on two wheels) in practice to break 200mph on one wheel on a ZX10 - I've just messaged him to ask...

  13. Thanks for all the GWS wishes :heart:

    Feeling a bit better this morning, I can actually sit up without feeling as if I am being torn limb from limb :)Day 3, still a long way to go.

    @Bumpkin, the scooterist was not in great shape, but I have no idea of his injuries. Being Vietnam and being a foreigner it doesn't pay to appear to be too interested as you could end up being the party at fault.

  15. It was at Elvington, he was on a Hayabusa
     
  16. How does that compare to the speeds your Haysbusa used to run ? Andy
     
  17. Jarrod did a terminal of 242mph circa 2001 on mine.
     
  18. A mile in a fraction under 15 seconds, absolutely terrifying but awesome. Andy

  19. Yeh, I don't think I would fancy it, might have a stab at 200 one day but that would be enough I think!
