Thanks for the cool comments everyone - really,really appreciated.

I'll be honest, I was a bit worried shouting about it. It's been seen a lots of times before, the mods we're doing now aren't anything really new or fantastic and it's just getting a spruce up. I thought everyone would be bored of it by now - I almost was!

The progress so far has been a week off work and nine says solid on it. Lee Hersey has done the hardcore work, Jason Hudson has been the electrics wizzard and Chris Sturgeon has been involved too - a real team effort.

The doors are a bit scabby, to say the least, but I think the old bucket will hold together for just a bit longer yet. The aim is to throw it round Silverstone at Trax to see if it holds together. If it does I might be tempted to do a few winter mods to keep me busy.

If anyone can help, I'm on the search for a strut brace to fit around the Irmscher air box. Any ideas welcome!

I'll try and keep the updates coming until everyone get's bored of it!

Hardcore is probably the word for it, it will be a pocket rocket like
