Thought i'd better update this thread as i've decided to enter BotM lol.

I got it finished for the Malverns and had an amazing weekend.

We had a visit from Paul Smith aka Smiffy of MBUK and i found out more about my bike than i have in 2 years of searching!

Anyway, Paul remembered that he rode my bike when MBUK had it on test for 3 days. Nothing was ever published at the time as it wasn't in production. Apparently the strengthening webs on the rear of each swing arm are at different angles to the later versions, hence he knew that it was this bike he rode!

He told me that the guy who designed and built it had links to Formula 1 bikes and it was "layed up" by Ian Curley of Curley Specialised Moldings https://www.curleyuk.com/ who is a Mini Miglia race driver.

I have since found out that there is another one or two, one being owned by the team mechanic from the Carbolite race team which i didn't even know existed!

A couple of pics from the Malverns but they were the only 2 i got, thanks Nick
