Thats one hell of a "fix-up". Damn!

@Lucky7:

Cheers, I bought it as a total basket case, thought I'd do a quick fix up but got a little carried away.

your not alone on that ,i bought a £250 xs 650 that morphed into a £6000 harley chop ooh

This morning I decided to go for a little ride. I started in South Cumbria, where I fired up the Boxer…

A couple of hours later I was at Keele Services.

Then down the M6, M42 and M40 to Cherwell Valley Services.

Where I saw a very sad looking Focus RS. (The other side was even more of a mess.)

And lastly, after 270 miles, I arrived in Southwest London, where my bike's going to live now.

Lucky7, that Katana looks fantastic.

Did you post a build log on the Performance Bikes forum a while back? I'm sure I've seen it before.

[MP]

Some great bikes on here for sure!

I've done a bit over 900km now, and loving riding more and more every time I hop on the bike.  I also had the front sprocket on the Monster swapped out for a 14 tooth one from the standard 15 yesterday, it's made quite a big difference to how hard it pulls off the line, and a lot less need to ride the clutch so much around town at lower speeds. It's made a fun bike even better

I'll put some pics up soon…

I've been tempted to swap out the front sprocket as well. Very tempting.

I went to the BSMC show today. Here are a few shots.

[Graeme]

And a few more. The green sports bike is a Paton S1 Strada, a low-volume machine from Milan built around a modest Kawasaki twin. It was one of my favourites.

[Bluegrass]

thanks for sharing - looks like a blast… wish I could've joined you.

[harley dave]

im so pissed off its the one show i wanted to go to this year but i had to work this weekend ,its getting better each year and there looked like there was some great bikes there .
oh well maybe next year

[Graeme]

Thanks Bluegrass and Dave.

There are a few more pictures on my Instagram feed, which I haven't posted here.

Shame you couldn't make it Dave. As you said, there's always next year.

[badgerskunk]

I love that 18 0z IH jacket, it has worn in beautifully

[Graeme]

This is a concept for the upcoming R1200R. Given my association with that bike, it's whetted my appetite…

Unfortunately they always come up with sexy previews, and the reality tends to be less exciting, as the first spyshot of the new model shows…

[Bluegrass]

Yes that is a sexy preview!
