      Great comment thanks Rat Cuz and it's such a good feeling as you'll know. Like you've reached the top of the mountain! Replied to your comment yesterday and it disappeared so this is my second attempt! Next video is exhaust repairs then it's straight to the garage for a MOT. It'll be so special riding the bike on the road at last! Love and big hugs :)x

    Ah, a new roar from The Highlands, feral haggis take to ground,
    for Squint has all his voices back, a steady four strong sound,
    yon Scottish pipes lend baritone, as the intakes soar like tenors,
    this boy sounds ready to rock n'roll, as his nurse slips on some leathers . . . .
    (Not even close, was it? . . Ho-hum, the rhyme may be crap but the image was an absolute killer!)
    Well done you two . . . & thank Percy Verance too, eh? - what a mover : ) x

      @@SurreyRider Thanks hun and it's a good idea however it's easier to leave it and only add if necessary. There one hole and leak needing repaired! Regarding exhaust noise it's at the MOT'ers discretion and I think it'll be fine. Or maybe I'm at the point I've done enough mechanics and just want to ride it! lol ;) Take care.. RQ :)

    What a feeling that must be. Its looking powerful, not powerful as in unrelenting performance more so like its presence is enough to intimidate and settle anything. Theres a certain dystopian decorum to it. Very cool. When I was a small kid this is the kinda bike that came to mind when I envisioned a real bike not a plastic sporty thing. It could easily be something from an 80's film about a badass and his steed. Well done
