Got a letter from Suzuki today informing me of my engine number and "Susuki ID".

Funny you should mention that Tony... I just pinged Gary a mail on that very subject. Eeerie silence so far.

The original 'date' was "March", but I'm resigned to it slipping to April. I need to be able to get 10hrs on it and the first service done before we go to Ireland at the end of May.

do RB not do seat storage as in you lift the seat? is it only the side pods?

btw, great idea if so. I'm going to put doors in my RC seats.

also, what trailer is it sat on? extreme?

cheers

I asked for that specifically in an attempt to minimise the amount of water getting in. I've also specced some little vents high up on the sides to trying keep the amount of sweating to a minimum. In reality I'll prolly just leave the hatches open while the cover is on.

Indie Rollercoaster 8.5, I've got the hub flushing kit on there too.

Collection weekend

Well, had a great weekend in Cushendall picking up "Iolar". Limited opportunities for boating unfortunately; it was blowing harder than I was comfortable with in a new, unfamiliar boat. So we limited ourselves to a quick skoosh with Conor on Friday afternoon before laying our money down. Got the ferry to Birkenhead on Sat overnight and she was tucked up at home by 10am this morning. Looking forward to getting her down to Caernarfon for a proper shakedown in two weeks.

104409

Not me at the helm, but behind the camera. Conor bringing her in to the slip.
