Re: Ben's Race Bike Build
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.

Re: Ben's Race Bike Build
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.

Re: Ben's Race Bike Build
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..
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.
