You were gold, gold......

What a machine! That fear box is phenomenal and at the moment I’m using the clutch to break it in. Once I can flat shift it will be even more epic!
So happy with how it looks too.

[Valey80]

Gear box of course. But I quite like the ‘fear box’ auto correct

[NGoodman]

Wow looks fab, enjoy making those sweet noises.

Love the "R" motif on the Bonnet!

[robfitz]

That looks superb. Jealous with a capital J.

Nightmare! Hit something, blew the rear tyre. No more damage though thankfully. Only 350 miles out of that tyre and it’s now scrap. Oh joy

[Corky]

Gutted for you. Looks great. I hope you have enjoyed the first 350 miles

Damn! I've not seen that before.

Those Yoko A/T tyres are tough as old boots and have supported many Nomads rock crawling and hooning through slate pits.

I don't suppose you know what you hit do you? Hope you get it fixed sharpish (bad pun there, sorry...)

[Valey80]

Got it sorted by a mobile fitter, problem being they couldn’t get the right tyre so another one coming Tuesday. But I got home!
I think it was just bad luck. Whatever I hit managed to go between the tyre and the mud guard so instead of deflecting away, it pushed into the tyre and popped it!
Hopefully that’s it for mishaps!
And yes I have lived the first 350 miles! Many more to come. It’s not going to be stored away - it’s about using her and it’s fabulous!!!

Bad luck on the tyre but at least the wheel hasn't been damaged.

The car looks ace really like the panels and they match the ohlins well. I assume you'll be adding a top box of some form soon?

[Valey80]

Yes I’ve ordered a box and it arrives tomorrow ready for more touring. Just wanting the weather to turn the corner - rain is a pain!!
