It's likely I'll be doing 1 or 2 next year. It'll be my first so I'm going to take it easy.

A long vid of my NC30 starting after a 6 week stand and also first start after the carbs have had a bit of work. Took 3 tries to get her to idle, but no throttle with full choke is the best way to prevent flooding. I even think she was firing on 2/3 cylinders for a moment!

Bare in mind, this was mainly recorded to test the capacity, clarity and sound qualities of my new camera so be warned, its not the most exciting 9 mins of your life! (I do rev it slightly in the last 1 minute)

The latest addition. I've spent £4 to get it to how it is now. All it needs is a new brake lever and a few odds n sods.
Not bad for £600...

Had a big soft spot for Mito's since the age of 16 when I had my first go on one. Ended up buying an Aprilia RS125 GP-1 when I was 17 which lasted all of about 5 days before it went shazam on me at 65mph.
