Name that motorcycle

Chances are there won't be time to make any posts tomorrow as it will be rush on to get the journey to Santa Pod underway. So until we get back from the Thunderball there won't be any boggings. I'm hoping this will change when/if i can get my hands on a mobile broadband USB device and i can post updates from my laptop whilst at the track.
Currently they cost about about £20 per month but theres not much choice and contracts seem to be a minimum of 18months.
A Fuel Regulator arrived through the post today. The Pro fuel is a 1-5psi regulator, it's a bit cheap and nasty but i didn't have enogh time to get hold of anything else.
I won't fit it unless i find that the carbs are flooding again, and it should be simple enough to fit if they do.

I called in at the sign shop near work today and asked if they could cut the final ... but oh so important "bopchop" vinyls for the bike. They have the design already but i couldn't afford them until now, they're really busy at the moment but said they'll try and get them done before leaving tomorrow.

It's taken since August last year .... 8 months in total to get the bike this far. Theres still a lot i want to do but just haven't had the time or money to do it yet. Plus, i know i should get a baseline established with the bike before moving on. So this weekend i'm going firstly to have fun running the bike i've spent so long building, to hopefully find out what it's capable of, and to do the necessary observed runs so i can get an ACU National license.
