The Guru you put me into in York on the CB500 evidently scours the country he's going to on holiday, either visits the seller while on holiday or has the parts shipped to the holiday hotel. And they call me an anorak  :)

Like Mark's postings on SOHC.net ... one hell of a knowledgeable guy !

Have a great time mate .. don't get any suntan lotion on that precious book !

 Thanks Ash.

What I love about Marks book is the depth of knowledge and real experience he has of the 750. He takes the time to explain things in a clear, methodical way. The layout / writing style isn't always that intuitive- i find I have to re-read a few passages here and there two or three times to get his point / explanation. I imagine there is a hell of a lot more knowledge he has - probably enough for a second book.
