S2000 is approaching 43000 miles.. Still a great car to slip into at the weekend. Especially as the VRS is a little on the rolly side:) It makes me really appreciate the flat cornering and revvy engine, I do sometimes wish the S had the torque of the VRS though.

It's off to the bike shop again for some more work for the Duke....

Also have some new master cylinders ( Clutch and Brake)

NCR titanium bars

New HEL brake lines

Gilles Chain adjusters

and some titanium goodies going on....

The S2000 has just been serviced and is now prepped for the winter hardtop fitment with new striker plates to keep it rattle free... Also just taxed it with another increase of £20 on last year bringing it up to £445! I pay more road Tax in a year than servicing costs!!! A joke!

VRS has a wheel bearing which has become noisey over the last month :( This hopefully shall be covered under the Skoda 2nd hand car warranty.

Im selling CB as I have done about 400 miles on her since last MOT. I just dont ride her , I have soo little time as I am living away from home at uni and dont want to take a bike to Swansea (Nicked within seconds)! I also dont ride as I have fast car now and its sooo much safer with these blind car drivers on the road. I might get another bike one day, but all my mates have sold up and therefore I have lost the passion. I still will always be a biker, just this country is sooo biased against us now, its a joke!

So I was almost at the end of my Ducati build project... Then I came across these little beauties....BST carbon wheels...

The cat really appreciates carbon and set to work closely checking out the weave for any imperfections

Then I mentioned the bike is probably going in the lounge

Guess I should update the build. It's nearing completion and a fair few bits added to the bike.... Sadly doubt I will get it out on the road this year as got far too much going on.

Some updated pics.

So the BST wheels are on with new tyres, new chain, sprockets and titanium sprocket hex nuts.

Probably bored ****less of my Duke build. I know bikes are not everyones cup of tea. But anyhow for those who might be interested.

I popped in to drop the Ti DP rear sets off and to see the progress on the airbox install. It's in but waiting on pipercross air filters. It's not completely back together yet. They have done the clutch cover and the slave cylinder. I am looking forward to the bike coming home.

Some iPhone pics.

Decided to let the S2000 go. The mileage had reached 55000 miles and after another wet summer I decided to part company with the S2000. It was a sad day as I have many fond memories of S2000 ownership this being my second venture and almost 80,000 over both cars it was time to try something different.

Anyway firstly I had a bit of an impulse buy the previous month. I added another Ducati to the fold... My 749R is still in the lounge and almost finished, Needs a Dyno Tune to allow for all the Engine Mods..

F3D362B2-4AF5-4490-A1F5-8F4B73412B7F-1470-000000E901AA21B9.jpg

I wanted something for everyday road riding and luckily a very nice Monster 1100S turned up which I have already started to mod. ;)

Lastly. The S2000 replacement.

Not had time to take proper pictures yet but this is the pictures from Piston heads.

1 Owner 16300 Miles on an 07 Plate.

Its amazingl to drive and returning pretty good fuel figures considering.... Or maybe its how I'm driving it...

The Skoda Fabia VRS, still going strong but got a slight problem with the gear box... The reverse lights not coming on... Already fitted a new switch but now it needs further investigation
