ParticipantAfter 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!
