Yeah, the orange screen was on it when I bought it and I intend to return it to clear whenever I get around to it, as well as having the wheels baked-enamelled back to black. Want it to look as stock as possible. Still has the original black end can on the end of a full Micron system, and I replaced the rear under tray back to original as, of course, it had been chopped (why?! Massive pet hate of mine). Also replaced various bits of bodywork back to original - you know, no broken lugs etc - and fitted a NOS top yoke (the original had been ravaged by swinging keys - another pet hate).
Looking forward to BladeDay 2 at Donington in a couple of weeks.

| Is that how many they're expecting? I'd have thought it'd be a lot more. First 500 get a chance to ride the circuit.

Agree, that there will be >500.
I'd like to one of the riders to take to the circuit- hence my comment.
If you see my chopped tail, - red RR2; t'was the previous owner.

Pretty. Is that your garage floor? Is it attached to your house? Mine is across the street and I've been considering painting the floor to reduce dust etc, but the checkerplate looks nice. Was it expensive?
