After months of trying to locate my old R1 on the small ads I had virtually given up hope. However on Friday night while trawling through eBay I spotted my old Thunderace, the bike I part ex’ for the R1 a few years ago.
So, being the sentimental type, I made the seller an offer and the Flying Banana is now mine again!
She needs a bit of tlc to get her back to the way I had her, but I do love a challenge!
Will post pics after I pick her up on Saturday.

My brother in law loved his Thunderace so much he kept it in his house

Shame, but I suppose that half the point is to have something to improve!
March 21, 2016 at 9:01 pm #69036daviedevsParticipantFull akropovic system has arrived! Plus Nitron shock ordered. Then going in for dyno jet kit and set up. Once done ill sort the bodywork back to as new then probably sell!
