Not beeing funny ,but these photos depress me, just been out to give the bike a gt85 shower following todays 55 mile ride. And i know as i walk away and close the garage doors Wills engine is 500% cleaner than mine.

I need to stop riding and start saving for the big upgrade.


Ps really nice job Martin, Will im sure you are delighted with this work.

Just in case I struggle with the 1 wheels that I've put on 1s front, plus I might change yet, not 100%

Thanks for compliment
