Well, took the bike for mot today and she passed with flying colours, we had it mot'd at the shop where we originally bought it and the owner asked to buy it back saying i will give you what you paid for it cheeky! Anyway he was taking photo's of the bike the lad working for him took photo's and wanted to chat about it, popped into a friend's on the way back and a chap pulled up and couldn't believe it he has 3 125's he is restoring (hi paul) had a chat with him, some workmen pulled up to have a look and a chat, got home one of the neighbours came over and wanted to chat about it, seems like everyone Love's them, hence the power of LC's.

I followed a VJ23 RGV250 SP in the week for a few miles till he stopped and went to talk to him, so not just LCs. Thats one rare 2 stroke in this country, lives only a few miles away from me, got about 3 RD500s, 5 LCs, a couple of YPVS and TZR250s, an MC28 and a few other 2 strokes within about 5 miles of me.
