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 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!

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 Just sorting out the finishing touches now. So much for borrowing wheels for testing today, Donington Park looked like this at about 10am;
