Decided on Silverstone (obviously the small file size doesn't do the finished picture justice)

If Photoshop turns you on I'm sure Annmarie can give you your toys in a Ugandan clearing with a chimp on the bike and a gorilla in the drivers seat

After 10 months of Atom 245 ownership I dropped my Atom off at the factory with Steve and Adam for an Annual Service.

I couldn't explain how it happened to my wife, but when I picked it up this morning it had acquired a Supercharger and some new Nitron Shock Absorbers (via Daz aka Turbo 911 on the forum).

Woooaaah - what a combination of Sports Exhaust and Supercharger scream and even more acceleration and then some more acceleration with a cherry on top...........took me 4 hours and a tank of super unleaded to make the 25 miles home which somehow turned into 90 miles!

More power, firmer handling and sunshine - what a tiresome way to spend a Saturday!

and thanks to John Scherrer for sharing his suspension measurements with me.....despite getting the spanners out I decided to leave the suspension fitting to Steve in the end. With 310 HP I thought I'd feel safer knowing the shocks had been fitted at the factory!
