Thanks for the welcome gys - warm indeed, glad I found this place. I'll get involved with more of the forum when I have time, pretty busy with work the next few weeks clearing jobs from the workshop and getting ready for a new dyno (bike not car, before you ask!). Over the years I've had all...

Hello, thought this looked like an interesting site to join. I take as much pleasure from bikes as cars, currently running a Jaguar XKR with a few mods. Look forward to chatting.
