Hi Colin, The Daytona is finished and now my daily ride, the BSA B25 hybrid greenlaneer is also done and l have taken them both to a couple of shows and l will hang on to both of them for a while. I have just sold my BSA B50 that l did a couple of years ago as l have only been out on it once this year, it’s quite a tall framed bike and if l stall it running up a steep slope I have to roll it down to a flat area to kick it over, the 500cc single is a bit of a beast to kick, no problem for someone with a bit of weight, but l am a tad small and light for it. So the finished B25 has now replaced it, it has a lower seat height and is a lot easier to kick, so looking forward to some fun on the trails with that one, however will be a shame to get the new paintwork dirty. The little SL125 is just for a bit of fun, l was going to keep it standard but l have just bought a 150cc barrel for it but l will have to machine the piston crown and valve pockets to get it to fit, so it will be an interesting project. Regards, Brian
What’s happened with the Daytona have you finished it or sold it?
