    It is a clip from famous sit-com Fawlty Towers when the lead character loses it with his unreliable car and attacks it…

    Pahahahah love that episode!! :p

    tiny update, I calmed down and started connected the wires back up. I had seven black wires to mess with. 5 are connected up and the bike runs perfectly cept I’ve lost the use of the starter switch n kill switch but I’m nearly there. The new exhaust sounds great too. I didn’t think it’d be that good until I started the bike up and nearly shat myself. A baffle is deffinitely needed, there’s no chance I’ll get away with it :)

    Indeed I am chaps. I was unfortunately screamed into the yard tonight by the missus so I thought I’d give the bike a bit of a fix to see if I could get all the switches to work and I actually managed it. Everything works how it should and I have two wires left to power the alarm.

    Job done! Storming here we come :)

    Well done Ben, will you be taking her out for a spin to see if your any more/less happy with her?

    Yeah I already have TT. And I’m keeping it. Fitting the growler has opened up the potential to be a great machine, it now pulls like a train! Although it’s a very satisfying growl it’s a very loud one so not sure whether to baffle it or not. Next stop, gasflowed head and big bore kit. I’m trying to beat the bhp of a featured bike in a mag of 197.2 bhp. Might get there, probably won’t. For now it’s a very tolerable machine

    Yeah going to use it a bit first me thinks. So winter it is money permitting. The bandit is still on, I’ve moved some stuff into the unit now so I could do both at once, I have enough space for a party :)
