I'm more worried that it's in the house Stu not the workshop. Unless you have a very neat workshop....

But the donk was brilliant for something with about 50hp, especially in traffic.Shouldn't be, there's a lot of triangulation going on (even more so with the lump bolted in place) ... think Ducati but smaller.
