HAPPY BIRTHDAY !!!!!
According to the wifes Google App thing, we bought this bike 3 years ago today. In the 3 years we've owned it it's done 15-20 trackdays and maybe 150 road miles, but it has been an awesome little thing, it's gone through 6 rear tyres, 2 sets of pads and 4 front tyres, but it's never needed anything apart from oil, filters and at one start of spring it needed a set of plugs.
It's now sitting in the garage fully fettled and ready to roll. Just waiting for the world to open for either the early May at Silverstone, or if the gods allow, a Donny or Brands in the Easter break.
Its had 2-3 times where it's been threatened with being sold on, but it's still managed to keep itself in the garage somehow. Despite my lack of love for the thing, it's really hard to fault it.
It does need a new chain and sprocket for the start of the season, which is already purchased and just waiting for a plan for me to fit it, or me to take up to MSG Racing to fit it, depends if i talk Crust into coming over in spring with an angle grinder to get it off. We noticed on the dyno it has a tight spot on the chain, not ridiculous, but it may as well be 'right' and good.
