If it wasn't for the fact that we bought and fitted a QS last week this would be winging it's way to us by now. I was actually happy to forget the £400 we threw at the bike last weekend and just get the MV... Mrs Weeksy feels that would be wrong though.

I bought my FZR400, R6 and Fireblade from Premier Bikes at Askern.

Was a large thriving shop with it own cafe and Bimota, Kawasaki and Aprilia franchises. The carpark was always full of bikes, etc...

Then something happened maybe 10 years ago (the financial crash?), it's totally dead now, they don't have any franchises and no cafe, I'd be surprised if they sold more than a bike per month.

Absolutely no idea mate. There's one on the other side of the bike too.

There's something very very special about radial engines

Just saw this on Facebook...

What are the pipes running down from the tail unit towards the swingarm? Speaking of which, the swingarm looks like a piece of Meccano.

Hmm,not sure. But saw it on a racing group on FB so assumed it was kosher coz a few knew it.

Its an oil cooler, I think - look at the pipes they have anodised nuts on the ends

Strange place though

Yup, you can see it better in this pic...

They'd be better routed attached to the frame. Not sure how the scrutes allowed it through

Yeah, but the underseat pipe follows the frame, that'll just make the oil even hotter.

Them pipes could so easily be ripped off. And nobody likes oil on track.
