I only wish I was able to put the time, money and effort into my Super4 in the same way that you have with your Castrol NC30 dude. A real credit to you and in my opinion the best looking 400 around. Gotta meet up soon as I don't think I've actually seen you since leaving Tesco, and that was nearly 5 years ago. Might drool over your bike too much though, ha ha.
