He was lucky to get it, I was going to have it until Roger's Forza came along.

Chief Keith was going to have it, too.
I think it was only the fact that he had a mouthful of breakfast and wasn't able to say, "I'll have it," before Dave did, that sealed its fate.

Mike, its now got 20000 miles on it, it went to a Brands Hatch track day last Thursday, I think it would have been competitive if I took it round the very wet track. I've got the Battlax SC tyres front and rear and Bridgestones have made a good tyre that stays in profile and lasts well.
Got second hand handlebar covers the other day, changed the transmission oil for Fully synthetic 15/50 and put in new handbrake pads which do never need changing as it happens.

Really pleased it's going so well, Dave.
I know you take care of your bikes so I'm glad it is a good basis to work on.
I like Bridgestones!

Are there many MM-forum-members who haven't bought one of Roger's ex bikes?
