well obviously mixed reviews there, still the most important opinion is my own. so I'm happy.

as to the ongoing project; I pickup the fairing and forks over the next few days, however the "trendy" disc's are proving a bit of a problem, the guy's not answer ing this mails , if I don't get a responce soon, I'll have to open a dispute

then it's only the bodywork to do (still haven't finilised the colour choice yet).

unfortunately the down pipes haven't arrived yet so I'm unlikely to get the exhaust ceramic coated in time, so will have to leave that until after AR06, which is a shame, but sometimes these things can'rt be helped.

Getting there.

Cheers Mark.

On a Trumpet related theme - my Tona is in the fix shop today to adjust the idle speed and I have a Speed Four as a loaner. Awesome, the power surge is simply fabulous, but I wish it was the triple.

Err, British bike, British flag, you could of course try it on your jap stuff, (although it would look a little to like bleeding piles on a white seat ).



Cheers Mark.
Wasn't it Kawasaki who were commissioned to build or design the engine!?

Correct me if I'm wrong!
Consider yourself corrected, It's a T5 engine.

Cheers Mark.
Yeah I remembered today! It was the IL4's that were I think(wasn't it?)
Still I like the Triumphs,they make a nice noise!

And yes your seat is cool!

This Speed Four I had today no exception. When I got back to Wylies (only 15 miles), they wheeled it into their shed. The bike was VERY hot, they said 'you've given this a thrashing, haven't you?' Me 'no comment ' Well yes of course I did, that orgasmic howl at 9K......

Nope as to both.

The bike's under warranty still so I thought they might as well do it. And I got a Speed Four as a loaner. 'Twas Wylies at Wellington (Telford), proper job too they done on it, much better than I could have done. Dynoed 'n' all, like new Lots of va va vroom, I tested it on the A5 on the way home
