You beauty!

Would it be cheeky to ask how much you paid? I've got my name on one for when it comes out of service (undetermined time frame, I'm playing the long game...). I'd like one to sit at the side of my M450 and replace the little Benson I've got for smaller/precision jobs when funds allow.

No problem I paid £825. I think the newest version is £60k.

Got collets, no closer. I think the collet taper is integral to the nose (not sure yet) If not I'll make one.

Breakdown cover which was considerably cheaper than the £200 that the AA wanted to fleece me for. And I am getting a free fuel voucher so it makes it a little bit cheaper for me Thumbs Up

Just took out Autoaid myself (£39 through Groupon). Apparently they settle directly now so you don't have to pay for recovery and claim it back.

I just renewed my Autoaid and noticed that.

Liking this.Is it 3 phase?

I have another lathe sitting in the corner of my workshop opposite my ML7.But with space in my workshop at a premium I have to move a few bikes out of the way in order to get anywhere near the floor standing one.

One day I will finish wiring up the floor standing pillar drill as well,but as I do not have 3 phase I have had to mount a replacement single phase motor and to modify the starter box.

Must extract a digit Brick Wall

Be interested to know what you think of them. Put one on the front of the ZX6 recently and could not tell the difference from the PR2 it replaced. PR2s are an old tyre now, I'm hoping these will be a decent alternative.


I have been using Pirelli Diablo Corsa 3s (made in Germany) for many years and the front has been on the R1 since I rode around France in 2014.But the front tyre has now worn unevenly and caused a few front slides towards the end of last year just before I SORNed the bike.

The reason I went for the Michelin PP3s was because I no longer trust where Pirelli tyres are made,with production of standard compound Diablos being moved to chinkyland.At least Michelins are still made in the EU (Spain).
