"where are the beer cans?" - we only drink out of bottles. Given we were in a rush we drank a couple before we started.

"Where is the Desmosedici engine to put in?" - Yup good question. I don't know anyone giving one away yet. Damn it! I was entertaining loading a KTM superduke engine into her, it would easily fit!

some questions:

Where are the beer cans?

Where is the Desmosedici engine to put in?

Have fun ;-)

Thanks Chris. I am pretty sure that you've already done a partial dismantle on it though? ;)

Glad to hear you are okay considering the stack. Sure have not lost your sense of humor!

Awesome! If you're keen to do another, I've a nice little 696 you can have a go at. ;)

PS didn't happen to video your sterling efforts on Friday night at Broadford did you?
