Following the catastrophe of the totally bogus 'pristine' RSV engine from Belfast which effective put and end to my motorcycling days seven months ago (long story - but I was sold a pup, whether willfully or not is irrelevant now) - Signor Falco sits there awaiting just a few more quids...

Once I worked out why the engine wouldn't run I moved on to the 'slightly stiff' suspension... and while I was at it thought a paint refresh was in order - by which time the money ran out.

Just awaiting a new rear sprocket, chain and front tyre and I'll be mobile - and able to scare myself all over again getting familiar with The Awesome after a seven month break!

Ah bless - you went and had the bike repainted to match the Sachs suspension unit... :smt003

Seriously, I hope all your frustrations are behind you and you can fully enjoy one of the most criminally undervalued motorcycles ever made.
