Introducing my new MT500 wot I picked up this weekend from the splendid Doug in South Devon - I was going to name it 'Rupert' as a nod to its military heritage, but on meeting the little hooligan it's quite clear that this IS Groot.
Front brake is a bit bindy, carb needs stripping down and sorting, new choke and some electrical shenanigans required to stop the back light flashing when you put the indicators on, but I reckon a couple of weeks and Groot will be blasting around the lanes of Exmoor, frightening the horses and generally causing mayhem.
(The looks Groot got on the trailer from bikers as we made our precarious way home on the A38 (with a wobbly back wheel on the car), was priceless. Especially from the Plymouth Harley crew that blasted past us just outside Ashburton!)
I AM GROOT!

Re: I AM GROOT!
Great introduction, really looks the business, you sound like you have already started to develop the MT grin.
