AS a few folk no am good mate with Keith. So last week a was on stand by to take a new BMW over to Ireland for him. On wed. a got the calll saying it was to be picked up.




His bro and me took it over in the van. Once out the box a few bits were added and insured







350 miles later in a country ave never been to before. Dublin to Belfast then lost a wee bit before a returned . Once a return the bike was ready to be stripped

























Then on to race day





world supersport Honda cbr600rr The one Jonny Rae raced.

























first in the supersport on the Honda











Jonny after a demo lap



third in the last super bike race





Back to the workshop for bbq and drink













Really enjoyed being part of the team and it wont be the last

Out of the two days racing we got 2 1st 2 2nd and 2 3rds

A saw your post about picking it up. Keith did mention how mental the bike was out the box. One day ill have one and find out for myself.
All the road parts that was taken off the bike are for sale.

The Scarborough gold cup is only a week or two away, well worth a trip to go see it

Keith never picked the race scheme, thats just the way it came. No sure if the dealer decide on the extra £'s for that paint or factory.

He got it at cost which was'nt much more than your R1
