LMAO, no I doubt that would work James. I'll go up to £45 James, am I in the ballpark yet?

According to Graham you’re about £44.01 adrift.

I'll lend you that £44.01 Ken........... ;)

As long as you let me twist the throttle, kick the tyres and pull the levers in and out. Maybe a sit on it whilst on the stand as long as I dont try to get any gears or fiddle with the switches ;D ;D ;D

It’s just occurred to me that I completely failed to say thankyou to Graham (Trigger) and Julie for rebuilding the engines on this pair of bikes for me.

Honestly, they wouldn’t be finished right now had Graham not worked his ass off to rebuild these a couple of years ago.

So Graham and Julie, thank you.

Ps - Graham, I’ll never forgive you for retiring from engine rebuilding

James, I did ask Graham if he wanted to reconsider his retirement and keep adding more Sandcast engine restorations to his portfolio and he said a big fat no, unfortunately 😢😢😢

He’s in denial clearly, I know he misses me.

Hi Menno. No, not your paintwork.

I'm late to the party James but saw the bike at the show Friday and Saturday - had to wait til the 2 minutes silence for the crowds to clear before I could get near to take a pic.  Tried to get a guy to sell his house in Mayfair so he could buy it but he said it would still have left him short  8)
Stunning work, you must be proud.

Hi James,
 
I haven't been here for a while - just pop in from time-to-time and lurk in the background, so only just seen the fantastic work you've done (again) on the two K0s, absolutely stunning!

All the best to you and everyone for a Happy Christmas.

Cheers,
Andrew
