    This is for all you street turbo guys

    "I need a twin turbo"
    "Gonna go blo thru"
    "Gonna go draw thru"
    "Boost me"
    "whizzy bang"
    Etc, etc

    Now we've all seen these terms being flung around and to be cool you need a turbo, however I say bollocks to all that turbo nonsense. The turbos themselves look shit (most of the time but not always) there's all those pipes and tubes and gauges and stuff, yeuk.
    But then I'm a bit oldskool and I say
    Big bore
    Hi comp
    big valves
    big cams
    flowed and ported head
    Big carbs
    Big diameter exhaust

    More than enough stomp for the street and it's there whenever you want it.
    Oh and by the way it should be air cooled

    I'm happy with what's inside my engine so all you turbo guys n gals flame away

    Bike looks porn, just imagine how much more stomp it would have with a little boost.

    YES! More photos. But still not the all important one I'm waiting for! How come you always take the photo from the low/inside of the bike lean angle (when it;s on the side stand)? Get around the other side and take us a 3/4 photo on the high/outside mate! - Square on side shot and then front and back 3/4. Seeing as I saw you squating in the engine case reflection, get down and do the 3/4 from low down as well. We'll make a photographer of you yet Simon! Sorry mate, being a fussy photo prick because this bike is so nice I want to share it at it's best!

    Thanks Si, noted. No I'm not a snapper but I'll take on board your pointers and try and get some more "artistic" shots. I'm going on a club run this Sunday so that should give me some artistic opportunities but more importantly there will probably be somebody there that can actually use a camera. I'm soooo stoked at having this thing on the road after all these years building. Roll on summer

    Nice job. Really good take on an aircooled zook. No harm in fessing up to not being man enough for a turbo bike mate.....Only joking, my bike never bloody works anyway so turbo smurbo. Bloody well done for getting it done and back on the road mate. Many don't manage it so that's a big big pat on the back from me :-D

    Love that old school sound! Sounds as smooth as when she rolled out the factory. Some nice new-school touches on the old girl. The video just made it even better. Cheers mate.
