I am hoping the RVF is finished soon, it's just boggling little things to complete on it.

Also I'm moving house soon as mine is now sold so that's going to take me out of the game for a couple of months. The good news is I have a long list of projects to complete as well once that's sorted.

Not really, its runs using some old VFR carbs as the RVF carbs are rotten and need a proper clean. Exhaust is hellishly loud though, sounds like the atleast one of the cans needs repacking. Other than that just silly little bits, rubbers, new cables and a few nuts ands bolts.

Been busy with moving house recently and haven't really had chance to do anything to either the RVF or the VFR other than buying a nice rear shock for the VFR and the final parts of the new mint original bodywork for the RVF.

However as I had a bit of money left over from the house I decided to buy myself a bike I'd always wanted. I know they're not to everyones taste but I've always loved them.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I present my Africa Twin. She's everything I ever dreamed she would be and more.

I've also bought another VFR especially for trackdays which takes my tally of Honda's lovely little V4's to 4 :grin:
