Went to see a mate with a couple of ongoing projects, the first is a 77 RD250, which spent the last 30 years rusting away in his attic, as he didnt have space to rebuild it until recently. I was told the biggest problem has been tracking down original parts... but after 18 months its getting there
While another project has had a new, bigger supercharger fitted this winter and is getting a home made exhaust this month..

I'm sure I was on that one as I remember Hooli (GSX14) and LegzR1 (who's bike was battered by stonechips).
Pic of me on my old Exup somewhere in the mountains above Benidorm about 18 years ago.
I had the S1000RR then and it stood up well to 17,000 miles of trackdays and gravel strewn roads.Pic of me on my old Exup somewhere in the mountains above Benidorm about 18 years ago.

It was the later R1 that looked battered after 900 miles - great bikes (I bought another) but probably the worst/softest paint on any bike I’ve ever owned.
As Tight5 mentioned - if it’s an issue, get to the front of the group...

First run out this year on the 125
Fookin freezing, snow at the sides of the road and saly everywhere.
Gazza turned up at the Cafe too.

Gazza looks a lot better in your pic than he did in the press shots last year...good on him.
I went out on the Firestorm for a first ride on that this year and got blown away by a what I suspect was a tweaked Golf R, past 120, it pulled away easily...Given me the hump all day, so no pic...!

He's got a couple more .. there's a Z1000MK2 lurking behind the RD250, with ZRX running gear, its having a 1400cc Zed engine, using an MTC big block from my old turbo Zed. Then there's another 2 stroke in bits... a KH250 that needs restoring, then there's the weird Yam GTS he's just bought, and finally plans are afoot for a bike with a Mazda rotary engine... he's worse than me lol
