I don't know if you're interested Deegee, but ERS is looking for a trackbike. He would really like a 675 but he's currently looking at cheaper ones.
675 trackbikes still seem to be commanding a premium, and demand appears to be out there.

Someone posted up a picture the other day.. Strongly tempted to link it mate. :(

I couldn't. It's as simple as that. I would send me over the edge and I'm close enough as it is.

Weirdly, the traffic for me was the lightest it's been for a while. I did leave early to try to miss the worst.

Yes, but bought a paddock stand off Duke, and got my old man popping round Friday. We are taking both wheels off and I am going to try to get new tyre then.

I find myself very het up every morning in the car. Can't wait to get back on the bike. Even if it is freezing and wet.

Not today, but at the weekend I rewired the ignition on my little Varadero, because it was knackered.

It was very simple, but I'm actually quite pleased with myself about that. (blush)

Me too. The last thing I am is an electrician.

Just re-terminated a couple of wires though, tbh. One (a live) had split totally and was touching the frame. Flat battery. Ooops.

Also, must remember to post here more often. :)

I thought about the bike this morning as I was looking at all the ice on the roads, then was glad I was sat in the car with the heated seats on full (toasty)

I rode, but it was totally dry and not even that cold here. And I go 3.5 miles.

SUCH a hero. Pah. :D

Yeah, don't get me wrong, in your position I wouldn't ride. I'm an idiot, but not THAT much of an idiot... :D
