yep it's been a while. the engine is basically two engines made into one , and i guess a strip down and refurb of the rest, things like an quiet exhaust baffle insert made up cos it was ear splittingly loud more photos at. http://s192.photobucket.com/albums/z.../lakes%202012/ [It's only recently i worked out this public photo thingy!]

The other news is I'm going back to DAKAR!, yep not on a bike tho, i've been asked to work as a mechanic on the heroes event for team desert rose. i get expences and an adventure, they get a some one to mess up thier ktm's [only kidding!]. so roll on 3 weeks in october
