A good clean and polish and some treatment with a big hammer and Pierre could have this on the road in no time.

mmmm ..... MPL clutch slave with a few extras bolted on .....
Not so sure the Mrs would fail to notice I've been spending again if I were to turn up with that little lot though.
At least it sounds as though the rider was OK - wonder what he hit ?

Thanks for the heads-up, added it to my watch list and ignored the sarcasm

haywood heath sounds like stinky london . Typically I've
just bought a bike trailer when what I really needed was a few boxes.
Must be worth £900 of anyones money. I can see it now with a Hossack front end mounted directly to the engine

I'm keeping my eye on that as well.
Always good to have a spare engine.
Kwack, I've seen 3 bikes this year with sheared off fronts, thats the 1st Aprilia I've seen tho.

I think I know who that bike belongs to, and if it is that person, then it's my old RSV-R engine that is sat in the frame.

I've sent the chap an email, hopefully he'll get back to me - if only to let us know that he's ok.
