Good news and bad news and some begging...
 
Well, the good news is my little bike has had some dyno runs and she's seeming fairly healthy :devil: Bad news is, both the wheels have got flat spots and need repairing :(
I'm not sure if the wheels will be done by the 27th when we go to Donington to give it it's first trial run, so I was wondering if I could borrow a set of wheels for the day? If anybody's fairly local and doesn't mind us nabbing them until after the 27th of this month, could you let me know please :) Thanks!

Thanks mate, you're a star :burn:

Fetched her from the dyno today, a few pics :)

SPR have done so much once again and even found another bhp. The guys there are fantastic, very impressed so far.

The little bike now has a slightly different look, the bodywork from one of my old race bikes was lying around and it just fell onto the baby Duc ! ;) Not convinced yet but it looks different...the gold wheels belong to griff !

Yep, off our '97 RS250 :D Just sorting out the finishing touches now. So much for borrowing wheels for testing today, Donington Park looked like this at about 10am;

Would have been better off with some reindeer and a sleigh :rolleye: Even the car they took out slid off the track at about 15mph :lol:

The plum pudding at Mallory on Boxing day would have been a better bet, Fair bit of Sunshine

Not helped by the fact they onoly had one booth operating at the entry point at the top of the field, spent 25 min queing to get in had about 5 phone conversations with Chris P during that time as he was parked up by the trees overlooking Edwinas.
Best bit was watching the Classic Sidecars, talk about the passenger hanging off the side. Mosley's were in fine form on their 125 and sadly I missed Peter Bakert crashing out in race 1, a rare sight.
Picked up my Yellow number boards and 3 sets of 88 numbers from Alan at A&R ready for next season.
Also saw Marion the North Glos entries Secretary and hopefully I can have the same number in theri MiniTwins class.

They were fantastic! We watched most of their second race from Gerrards and the guy on the red classic had it sideways most of the way round :D Brilliant
