Was going to ride down to Donnington on Sunday to watch my bro race this bike he just finished building (well, still not quite there Smile ) but we are now taking our daughter with us so going in the car!


Anywho, here is his bike, its tiny!!  Very fast, was flying past R1's at Anglesey when he took it there for a shakedown test last week.

That's a sweet bit if retro there, it's almost a shame to track it!
Stop polishing it and ride the bloody thing!!
