Ola John!

And I thought it was Tamiya's kit!
Easy riding and take care of yourself on that thing!

Reward for working...I,ve been looking every spring for 15 years...finally broke down...I stopped riding at 19 when I got hit by a car on my last motorcycle. Always had the itch and just got around to scatching it. At 47 I drive it like an old man and watch all the people in cars who want to hit me. Cautiious and all the right gear this time around..I.E..Leather jacket with padding, full face helmet, gloves and boots above the ankle...next will be the kevlar jeans.

Nice one John, enjoy the good life.. and stay safe.
I know this is not the RRB, but I would change one thing, the exhaust... A single thumper deserves a 'free flowing' exhaust. ( an open pipe.. :-) Bop Bop Bop...)

Cheers

Congrats on rejoining the good guys John! Looks like a Panther for the 21st Century (Dave Cox should know what I mean by this!). Managed to get two of my kids on the back of my bike for the first time today, my brother-in-law Jon (Ducati rider) brought down some gear that his kids wear & we took them out. Mk 2 daughter (13) pretended to be unimpressed, but admitted it wasn't as scary as she'd expected. She much preferred the ride on my 1972 Moto Guzzi Sport to Jons 1990's Ducati which was gratifying! Mk 3 daughter (9) was mad on it & even went off with Jon to get petrol!! So looks like I'm in for some heavy expense on leathers soon!

Stock handle bar and risers John, or is that an aftermarket? Looks sharp.

Riceburners don't need a driptray when you park on your drive...
