Back in the chassis ..... still lots of work to do..... current thinking is anything up to 30 BHP at the wheel, which is almost 4 times the original power !!!! I can't wait.........

Please ride it first!

I may burst with excitement if I have to wait much longer. After all, this is cheap entertainment for me now I've had to give up or broken all my toys. :D

Yeah, I know, Sorry, it's like waiting for paint to dry.... actually, It's more like waiting for a baby to be born......... I actually thought they'd do it the week I took it in but here we are 7 months later !!!! JHS are doing a video blog of the build and Dyno.... It'll probably be on their Youtube site 44Teath.... It has created a fair bit of interest on a few Grom sites and might end up being one of the quickests, "Well Sorted" Groms in the UK "Fact"........ I wish I was still on the MCN Forum !!!! :D

Was it really that long ago? It was a happy day, apart from trying to keep everyone in sight. Just as well oldish waited for me on the roundabout or I might still be trying to find the way home :D
