Hopefully not too long now. Apparently the head & cylinder have been repaired, just waiting on the piston kit to turn up. Then flush the engine out & rebuild it. The only other thing i need is a front tyre & a new chain for the MOT. Fairings are tatty, been sprayed a 'nice' silver blue colour ( ), but it'll do for now. Once i get it back & it seems ok, i'll start spending money on it

I'm well up for a meet up some time. Dave & I talked about it a while ago. I'm in Frome, so not too far.

Sounds superb! I'll need a few weeks to shake the rust off, as i haven't ridden for over a year since selling my Gixer. But really really can't wait. The NSR seems so small & light, it should be a great laugh. also gagging to loose my track virginity, really want to do Donington GP
