Thanks for the words of welcome...
I have owned mk1 bandits for the last 10 years, first 1 for 6months and then the engine detonated. Its replacement for 8 years till some lowlife ran off with her... :'(
And now I'm on my 3rd... still a work in progress, but this time I'm getting the motor and suspension done first before I get the shiny stuff done...
Thanks for the comments about my parking... It's easy really just have faith in your own ability to miss a hidden road cone. And know the width of your bike.
Always easier to ride along the path and then back onto the road than it is to try and reverse park.. Little trick I learnt years ago from despatch mates in London. Try reverse parking with London traffic flying past you and you end up with no front wheel..
The marshalling is where I got my nick name/ login for most websites..
my "madmarshal" tag was earn't doing loads of runs in Southampton years ago...
