Yes It's a nice colour scheme - can't wait to see it in the flesh.
I will pop over to have a chat - I hope it's not wet i cant be arsed to take the Gazeebo.
Good luck on the test - not that you will need it it's pretty straight forward.
An NC is for life, not just for Christmas!

Hi Ben,
would you consider showing your bike this August? free camping and passes at Carmarthen show. I've put on a 400greybike.com stand and so far all we have are Honda's!
Please let me know if your interested.

Spent the whole evening trying to get it started, wasnt having any of it.
I tried fuel down the plug holes , cleaning and heating the plugs, checking and re checking the fuel system and carbs.....but to no avail.

...Oh wait what if i swap these two coil caps around.. :clap: Im an idiot.

On the plus side now i know it runs, will give it a proper warm up , bleed the coolant and check out my lovely new Micron sound. :grin:
