Just the one?

Yep just the one, the turtle protection people where all a bit surprised as it was a little early, and had to get all the sunbeds and stuff out of the way. It did make it to the water

I will inquire Paul. It's certainly had a complete restoration job done. The guy is a car enthusiast as you can probably tell from the Corvette next to the MG!

Spotted this last week in Windemere





Bit of research show it to be a 1996 Yamaha V-Max 1200, albeit slightly modified ....

This was at a classic car rally so perhaps it doesn't count but I couldn't resist it.








And yes it was a wet day although it cheered-up later on.

Seen today...

OK, the front is not that special (nice though)



It gets more interesting at the back...



The carb arrangement (looks bike to me) is interesting too



I couldn't find the owner - I'd have liked to know more.

i (lord knows how) walked away as passenger from an imp losing it's back end at 60mph, off camber drop, rolled, ending up in a river, nose up, and we climbed out through the windscreen aperture.

so 100bhp would clearly be entertaining at least. :drive:
