It does look kind of like the chain needs the guide, to keep it off the swing arm.

Looks like the last day before sleet and other nasty schitt blows in, A definite drop in temps back down to double figures today.

Not a five star anything in sight.

Yorick hacked my a/c.

AND,I posted in the wrong bloody thread..

On the Proddie Racers FB group just now

It was originally the 'Works' bike given to Ray Stringer to race, by Terry Becket

I've seen a new V4S Panigale about lately and looked cool, but rider was pants.

Last night riding home along our road, I saw him set off, wobbling about.
I passed him on the corner. On my GasGas in t-shirt and flip flops

When I pulled up to our gate, he wobbled past looking very sheepish.

All the gear and no idea. Look at them chicken strips.

I took photo just now. Reg plate shows it's almost new.

A tidy TDR on the bay,but daft dealer price.

Trying to work out where all that space has come from. Have they turned the engine upside down*???? Where did those forks come from?

It's, erm, 'interesting'.

* Edit. It looks like an R80 and they've dropped the engine as far as it will go and rotated it a bit.

Yeah, very low mounting - Wouldn't fancy attempting a speed bump!

Ah. It's an R100. More info and better pix here.

(It was the 'Revival of the Machine' on the tyres that lead me there).

Partly because they've junked the big air filter box on the top of the engine.

Yup, that's a fair chunk of it. Rotating the engine a bit has increased the headroom at the front, dropping it has added to it and there's little or no saddle on the tank.

This one's a bit tidier I think. (Front end looks unfinished and the front tyres a bit daft though).
