Well I hope this works , this is betty , shes had a bit of a hard life , first she hit the tarmac and became a right off , got stood in a garage for while , got draged back into life to go on the track , then my old boss got her to put her into raceing which she did rather well , so she stayed there for a few years untill she said get off at 120 and made quite a mess of herself so she got draged back to the garage , all the fairings were trashed , fork were every shape bar the right one , smashed front wheel , rear sub frame was flat , twisted swingarm , so it was out with the spanners and a canny bill from ebay she was back raceing Were she did well again , then she got layed up for her replacement an R1 , so she stood about again for 18 mths fairings removed , all good bits took off , then we took pity on her rooted about the garage found some parts put her back together , and thats when i got her , so the plan is to get her sorted lots of polishing a new paint job , for her new life blasting up and down the highways and back roads for years to come,
