Thanks again Yorkie.

Insured today, waiting for the bike MOT shop to open for business tomorrow so I can book it in. Drop of tax and I'm away...

First ride out with mates.....Skins Cafe in Brackley is worth a visit for the most excellent coffee alone.

Sunshine made it all the better....

Back from another cracking day at Kempton Park Motorcycle Auto Jumble, had a great scrounge around and picked up some of what I wanted....as I always seem to do at this event

Best score was the Bell openface custom for £120 which came with a Bell carrier bag which is cool. Also,picked up a Bergen hex drove T bar kit, as most of the fixings on the CBX are Allen bolts, I've found having a tool like this will be a big help.

Replacement indicator body (had to buy the set), stainless cable ties and a demo bottle of non acid/chemical water based bike cleaner to trial.

Thank you yozzer, really pleased with how it's turned out, for a self built budget project, and happy it may inspire others to build something similar. It'd never make a BOTM like yours but, I love it anyway.

Oldskool Scramblers are all the rage at the moment it seems
