It was nice bobbing along in the countryside in Jean's and a jacket

You just can't put a price on scaring old ladies

Nice..... "Daddy come baaaaaack" ------- " Daddy Went"

Very nice. Bikes sounds just like it should.

Good looking bike and a great build diary video.

Thanks all I really enjoyed building it and Evie gave me loads of help
I want to do another and thinking of a Daytona 955i as a base

That a cool little build doco she’s put together!!

Looking forward to the next one

The slugs been out a few times ,changed the oil and filter plus new filter and sump bolt
Bought some new front indicators as the cheap Chinese ones rattled to bits ,need to get them fitted
Noisy as hell and a right laugh to ride bit of a keeper I think, people are always interested in it when I pull up somewhere

failed mot on noisy exhaust ,tree hugging nonce so bought some baffles and will get it on the road for the nice weather

It’s happening more and more. Insurance companies are also getting arsey about race exhausts fitted.

I cant imagine my Pani with an after market exhaust its already very loud

Too loud for Castle Combe with a stock exhaust. Not as loud as a KTM 1290R SuperDuke though.. those things are MONSTEROUS!

Fwiw the loudest bike I can recall was a Buell.
It wasn't even moving, it was parked on it's sidestand at tickover.
Just walking on the pavement past the thing litterally hurt, you could literally "feel" the soundwaves inside your body. It gave me an instight into how liquifaction happens during an earthquake.

erm went to start it to annoy the neighbors but lost the RFID tag
no idea how I am going to solve that one !
