  13. Well I’ve been absolutely manic with work on courses and getting ready to go away and therefore have not had time to finish the bike and update the thread. I managed to finally collect the wheels from paint and she is fully back together, runs and I’ve briefly ridden it around the base! Fortunately I’ve also confirmed that it actually fits in the garage with the GT3!
    Unfortunately I’ve not actually ridden it on the road as I’ve run out of time to get it MOT’d and I’m off to Afghanistan on Sunday for 6 months!!
