Hi All
Thanks for he concern into my injury, finally back to work tomorrow and in the process of starting up on my own soon, after a forced delay.

Jerry, I have ridden at Gurston for many years, especially throughout the 90's but rode there in May 2010 on the new bike, very fast track and my old steel framed KX used to hold the 500 record there.

Kawasaki Freak, I still have a frame and other bits here if you find an engine.
2007 KX500AF (SM)
1999 VTR1000 Firestorm
1999 Yamaha Big Bear ATV
1937 Royal Enfield Bullet

Thanks Mitch - I haven't forgotten.
RoyceRR - you're a stone's throw away - I hope to do Gurston next May if I can get my hands on a bike.
Kawasakifreak - the older I get the faster I was.
