Yep, you sure will Snapdragon, though the weather really does have o be pretty calm. So you live near the track eh? Nice. Do they let you in free as compensation for disturbing your peaceful weekends :smt002

Nice bike Mister, can I sit on it? How fast does it go?

I don't think tyre sealant would be a good idea in that one, even though I could probably retire on the proceeds :smt003

Yeh, but if somebody did pull out in front of you on that thing, you have a built in airbag, or then again you could always float over the top.

There were some good shots of your Big Bike on the Eurosport coverage of Thruxton at the weekend - it looked very impressinve.

I kept telling people "Look at that ! - I know who designed that !"

..... I think they wondered why I was getting so excited ...........

Cheers matey, that's nice to hear. I'll be at the Oulton Park meet on 3rd May so hope to see it up there, weather permitting of course. Apparently there's a piece about it in this months Superbike mag.
It will also be at George White's megga open day thingy this coming weekend, which I won't be able to attend unfortunately.
