Empty garage syndrome - had to do some diy instead...

Bugger off you Southerners. I've been working and the weathers been rubbish up here. I believe the heat wave comes next week but not in Manchester. We mustn't have paid enough taxes to the council again!

The original chrome silencer is now 9 years old very noisey and not repackable

When I bought the car two years ago there was a fracture around the inlet to the box which a friend of mine did an excellent job of welding up.

It's lasted two years more than it would have otherwise - so it was time for it to go.

The guys at Haywood and Scott in Basildon are making a new collector, link pipe and repackable box.

This will be quiet enough to take on the track - so another step closer to my dream of track days

Bah I saw a triathlon on the telly yesterday in Hyde park whilst I was at work and they had to swim without wet suits as the water was 22 degrees! It wasn't that outside the water here

Never mind your common all garden reds and yellows... Kawasaki Racing Green bodywork adds the most power!
