passed its MOT today, had the carbs balanced and just have to put one of the side panels on and the crash bars and its all done. Really pleased with it in the end. going to tax it later today and try and get out and take some pictures if the weathers good tomorrow.

I've never really been a great lover of Tenere's, but I have to sat Sean, that is lush, and you've done a great job on it.

let Pete loose on it?

Yeah right - it would come back looking like the scrapheap challenge...
