Well Gareth, only time will tell but as I was 70 last year, it might be down to someone else to discover the error of my ways!
By coincidence, I see by your sig that you have a Street Triple and I’ve just finished making the triangular Dural plates and spacers for my mate’s Triple, so that he can fit the rear shocker from a CBR600 - apparently resolves the ‘bounciness’ at the rear end.

Went to the V&A in Dundee recently - quite good but seems like an expensive cafe with a few exhibits on show, or was I expecting too much?

I've never suffered from any bounciness from my rear end, thankyou very much! 😂
Mine is the old R model with fully adjustable suspension, on standard settings it's just fine, even on a track day. I probably don't ride it hard enough to find the limits.

You are dead right about the V&A, it's like a half empty hangar. Great views down the River Tay, but only if you're in the pricey restaurant. They will be doing an exhibition on car design in the future, I'll try and encourage them to do one on motorcycle design! 🚴🔧

My mate’s is a 2011 non R version but he does ride it quite hard!  The V&A had a part clay part complete Jaguar E Pace and a film showing design to production - fairly interesting as Jags are another passion of mine, especially supercharged V8 Daimlers! Doubt that I would ever consider an Ever Ready U2 battery one though - or have they moved on from those?  Anyway, clutch all together now with a mix of the best 350 and 400 parts I had.

Took this pic when the clutch case had nowt in, so that I could get the agreed value sorted at renewal, rather than having my legs slapped midway through the policy.

Looking good Ian. 👍

It’s almost 20 years since I was given this completely dismantled bike when my Nephew was clearing his late Father in-law’s shed.  Many of the NOS parts I started collecting back in the 90’s when a complete exhaust system and silencer were £150 from DS and that genuine front brake disc was a tenner!  Genuine mudguards, indicators and a whole raft of other minor parts plus a lot of bolts and fittings re-plated in my workshop. Original Perth registration with 666 in the plate.
