    My RD04 Taken !!!!!!!

    Some of you may remember it, It was a near perfect example of a true future classic RD04 in HRC colours. It was well sorted and ran perfectly never giving me a days worries.



    Well after a bit of thought I decided to put it away in the garage for the winter to keep her in shape ready for the spring, i had intended to do some remedial work over the winter.

    Decided to give her a makeover instead so here she is finally finished and ready for the next adventure


    Happy Xmas

    Dont feel too sorry for me they did leave me something in its place
















    The Marathon 750 is finally revealed to the world:

    The first person ever to set eyes on the new Marathon 750 was the wife who uttered the imortal words " looks exactly the same as before but with a screen you cant see through "

    What possible answer can I have to that

    This is such sad news! You have my utmost sympathy, I was devestated when my bike got kidnapped (albeit for a few days!)... can the police do anything to help?

    It is just so saddening to think there are people in the world would do that.

    Like others, I will keep my eyes open!

    Hope you have a good Christmas anyway and that 2010 will bring good fortune to you.

    Yes Mr Kitped take a bow.

    The pannier frames still fit outside the Marathon Panels ( which was my biggest worry )

    The rear rack brackets attach to both pannier frame tops with some homemade brackets and have no attachments to the panels themselves meaning easier removal of the panels and less drilling into the panels.

    The Decals are from a local guy I know
