I’ve realised that I’ve owned this Lc now for 8 years in that time I’ve hardly used it less than 1000 miles whilst I love it and it gets huge amounts of attention I’m thinking of moving it on. I fancy building an lc2 and tbh this is not getting any use. I know some of you prefer building over riding now. Tbh the only time I use it is at the Manx otherwise I’ll ride a different bike when out with my mates, or obviously when I am doing my pre 65. So would I be best to advertise it as an auction? Or stick fast I’ve an idea of what I’d like returned as it’s for all intents new.

Be careful there was something I posted a while ago about one and another forum member gave me the heads up it was nothing of the sort. There was actually a little controversy around the bike.

Really like this, would like do to a paint job like it on my zx4rr. Are there any other pictures on Facebook? Rob Based on early 1980’s Kr1000 endurance racer. I’m in SA at the moment but have quite a few references at home

If it’s ok, and you got it will it lose money? If not could you resell? Can’t remember if you’ve owned/ridden one before?

Watched the documentary it was pretty good and I’ve bought the book again an interesting read. However it like the series has an American slant eg; and the best allied fighter in the European Theatre until the P51 was the P-47? Really? Mk9 spitfire? The constant lack of recognition that we (d.u.k.e) forces had been at war since September 39. Always remember being in Normandy for the 50th anniversary and over heard some septic saying to his dad who was a vet about how amazing the US were and his old man put him right about how long we had been there before them and how ‘we’ landed on 3 beaches not 2, how we were first on the ground etc. I understand they are appealing to a US audience however anyone would think we were an irrelevance.

Absolutely disgusting been to the shop this morning to buy some of my Christian celebratory baked goods only to find that they have been replaced with Scots cross buns. Heresy they’ve changed the design from celebrating our saviours death and resurrection on the cross to celebrating Scottish independence I blame Nicola Sturgeon and the SNP (aka socialist national party) how dare they. Totally offended.

Not about the destination but the journey Jim 😁. Seriously it’s great for mindfulness Switch off put a pod cast on and give it a go. Don’t put yourself under too much pressure it’s supposed to be fun and relaxing. Anyways off to do some yoga and have some cold water therapy Namaste. 😁

Looks good Alex and a great thing to do. Just a suggestion if I were doing the seats I’d start with a mix of 90% red and 10% black, which we that in the valleys on the seat. Then use just the red to do the seats and leave some of the darker mix in the valleys. Then some red on your brush (use an old one) rub the brush on a surface this helps dry and also remove loads of the paint then paint between the harder paint between the dark mix and red, then 90%red and 10% white do as above then paint across the high point areas on the seat. This will give more dimension to the seat. Dry brush. Apologies if you already do or know this. 👍

I know, I’m looking forward to the rest of it. Designed by a non bike rider obviously. I remember when this was launched and seeing Al Mellings name attached to it and knowing what he’d done with the Tvr ajp motors I was not surprised.

Totally understand both where the company is coming from, they bought the rights to the marque after the Johnny Towers debacle ( I know all about him from a professional basis when I was regional CID). They’ve invested heavily and use the marque for cache and kudos. However from a driving perspective‘British’ sports cars were all about lightweight and nimble handling, being an ev this won’t be the case with this irrespective of its ability, more posing/cruising than canyon bashing. The Mgf was a decent ish car for the day bar the K series head problems. Do they have appeal today? Not sure they do I think they are of the time look dated and weren’t that well built. Imo if you want to buy the best British sports car of the past 30 years there is only one choice. That’s an Mx5 probably the closest anyone has come to the ideal of small lightweight good handling sports car.

V interesting but jeez how to make things difficult to change a tyre you need to remove the complete front end then the forks but remove the discs first. Good old Al Melling 🤦♂️

Took a while, dark aluminium cases, light aluminium barrels and heads polished aluminium side cases, chrome pipes and bevel drives with stainless silencers, lots of scale nuts and bolts, front master cylinder made with clear tubing, fitted bulbs in indicators, stainless wire hoses into rubber hoses drilled the discs out, etc etc etc but really enjoyed it, need to finish the Lc , the rg500 skoal bandit the gsxr/katana and the z1000 special. Got an idea for Gosling 2 2027, 😁👍
