Good news.

V5 has arrived.

URM ***X

So calling him Ermin :), which is as a name in German origin, meaning 'Soldier'

Fitting, as it looks military, and is green :D

I think my tyres have too much PSI in them, goes along like a go karts :) but when you hit a proper bump they damp.

It's the green baggy jumper mate, simply not a slimming colour/look for you.

The exhausts are renowned for rotting out in the front.

And it gave up on the way to Steve's, snapped clean off at head.

Found a guy local to me, going to cut out the old pipe, and make up a new one in sectioned stainless and keep the old silencer for looks :D

got a quote for a new front sprocket at around 200 quid, so wont be keeping that engine in :?

Got a collar made up today, ready to fix the broken exhaust.

Going to be made up in stainless to the silencer. Should last a while that :D

Going to the post office with 2.5ft bar in hand and a motorcycle w/ helmet gets you funny looks :lol:
