No, definitely got the right bike - one I could actually afford! Wouldn't swap it for anything else. Nothing wrong with wanting an aircraft hangar full of bikes tho!

Cruel and funny in equal measures  :lol


I quite liked the 3 cans when they first appeared, but think they look a little naff now, espcially with the tin box underneath. Give me a straight 3-1 exhaust any day. The rest of the bike looks neat.

When I were't 'lad, I worked at a dealer for Hesketh (D & A Rayner m/cs), the original 1000. I think we sold about 2.... :lol
Not really surprising as a beautiful bright orange Jota sat alongside was £3k new, the Hesketh, £5k!
