    OK heres my bike when I bought it back in 2010 I think it was.. Had been out of biking for 15 years after getting married and kids etc. Thought i would start with a nice 98 to break me back in to it

    Then over the following winter decided to strip it down to a bare frame and update it a little, ended up like this and getting a feature in Practical sports bikes:

    Rode around for another summer then decided some wieght loss was in order as it wasnt quite fast enough, brother inlaw bought a new TT legends replica so needed to make it fast to try and keep up.

    Ended up like this:

    Now for next year needs to be faster still so CBR1000RR4 motor going in there and race rep rear end and some other nice parts. Artists impression of how it should look haha
