I hate that grey colour it looks so bloody boring. I'm looking forward to seeing how it flourishes in your capable hands. 
Is that your driveway with all the bikes on? Looks like Battersea for bikes.

I don't like hearing news like that, poor sod. 
We're not built to last I'm afraid so you've got to get on with it.
Make sure you put plenty of photos on here of your up and coming project.

The other bikes are from my early years.
Cb250N on the left I think.
W reg one above the FZR looks like a Honda CD200 Benley.
And the one on the right a CB125T twin (good bike in the day).

this was my other best friends bike - he passed away a few years ago now and we did the mayday run together on it some 20 years ago, his mum gave it to me as a proper wreck it had been left outside for 15 years
i spent a year fixing it up and did a tribute mayday run on it last year
this is us meeting his mum on mayday morning

Err. No. It is a Honda, or part of one (CD200 Benley)?
Can't get the tune out of my head now! Do you really play that whilst riding down the road?

Looks good fun and I laughed at the cavalry charge.

Will be interesting to see that silver/grey FZR Paully. I have a spare screen but it's orange (what was I thinking....)
Don't forget that Jayson has your spare ECU somewhere. I meant to bring it back from Belgium last year
