Just got off the phone from Mel! All is well, he has been busy with his new job and will be back among us soon!

Mick might even get his wheel back after all!

I live in hope!

Here's the latest update.....!!

The motor now runs in the frame! Just the electrics and vapour speedo to sort and then hand over to Mel at Stafford! I think we ought to have a ceremony as the longest MT rebuild in history!

Your workshop without the Banana mt - its just not right somehow!

One of the best mts out there - even the colour is better in the flesh!

Well done Gary

Amazing, true ugly ducking to swan thread.
Beautiful looking bike even if it is JCB yellow.
Makes me feel ashamed to be riding an unrestored MT.

Cheers Franc,

It's actually Yamaha yellow, i had to order the plastics from America. Its quite different to suzuki and JCB yellow and looks quite fetching in the flesh so to speak! Just hope Mel can make it to stafford to collect..
