I was all set to go but can't now. Got a job I need to do and can only be done sunday and I was already busy on saturday. My bike is a long way from being roadworthy. I was all set to sell it last year but saw sense and decided to get it back together but it'll be a while before i start it. Family priorities have to come first. As for the show, I'm gutted I'm not going now. I too am a bit miffed diesels are welcome. If they're classic 70's or 80's bikes it'll be okay. There's only so many R1's you can look at!

Ronnie, I ABSOLUTELY declare that you are forbidden to sell your 500.... :smt018

"Four-strokes welcome" ???? :smt011 Don't they realize if you do that the diesel's that show up will end up out-numbering the 2-strokes!! :smt017

If anyone is going, pictures are demanded to be posted here :cool:

Sincere apologies your excellency, please forgive me. :sad: :prayer:

I had considered selling it for a long time. I guess I had lost a bit of motivation. But when I saw Dubsey's bike last year at Donington, that confirmed my decision to keep it.

I bought some stuff off Ade Sym while I was there, still in two minds really about keeping the bike, but seeing Mark's Misstress screaming round the track as he chased down the genuine YZR500 made me realise I was thinking like an idiot. It was all I needed. Since then I've steadily built up a stock pile of trick bits, including some very nice genuine factory Yamaha YZR500 stuff. All will be revealed in due course :tonqe:

But I need to build a new bigger workshop before I start it and before that I need to build an extra bedroom for my 3yr old. That will be next year. The wife says we should extend the bathroom at the same time as building the extra bedroom. Yes, that's the same bathroom I broke my leg in last year while in the middle of renovating it. Is she kidding me!!! :smt013

So, it'll be a while before I make a start. But I will. :smt023

As for the show, I'm going to try to go Saturday afternoon. Can't do Sunday now but could possibly be free by 11am on Saturday morning. It's only 100 mile away so if I can I'll go.

Here's some pics from Squire's 2-Stroke meet. Some great bikes. Not one RD500 in sight. A bit worrying. Also, a great video clip at the end! :grin:
