    Only for 50 miles every day ( I was hoping to us it for less than a thousand miles a year , but that plan went out of the window when the NTV gearbox turned to swarf ).

    Hopefully a 1200 Bandit will join it in the garage very soon - I feel the Suzuki will make a much better commuter than the Honda

    And you can just make out my Golf Gti in the last picture- I hardly use that either, it's only got 102000 miles on it, pretty low for an August 96 I thought

    Very Nice Rob.
    Sadly i might have to sell my TL1000 To get some cash in (to pay Big Dave) But i'v got a couple of Chop/Streetfighters In Bits In Mi shed so it will give me a shove to get on with building em.

    I think the bright sunshine and Marks' photographic skills did it a few favours, that and the fact that it hadn't been rained on for a week or so , I do try to keep it nice, but the brake callipers and disc mounting bolts are starting to loose their newness, along with the stonechipped front fork sliders (bugger).
    The Bandit looks like a firm possibility, I just need to see the guy with my wad of folding ( had a result at the Donnington spares show - so it's time for another toy )

    Bike front..... 750 4 Honda. Custom built frame. gigantic "Arolight" back wheel. Massiv ally braced swing arm (Both of a drag bike) plus all the other bits to put together a mean rat streetfighter/chop. OR I could use the new V4 Pan euro engine i bought ages ago (coz i KNEW it would come in handy one day)

    Rick, doh i meant s2 the one you need to sell but can`t bring yourself to doing it (very nice car btw). That 750/4 sounds like fun. 1200 Bandit engines are getting cheaper now though mate and it will fit in a 750/4 frame i know cause i fitted a 600 bandit lump in one and they are not much different. Got any pics, i spent most of last night in the garage rewiring the gs750 rat, so should have that done by next week. Will take some pics as well.

    It does look so mean in black with the really shiney pipes.

    And Carl I have seen Rob blast this up a slip road, so yep he does use it and very well by the look of it.
