Of back roads and green lanes. 
Sold my Thundercat as I have always wanted one of these...and I would end up doing 120+ on the motorway most days so this might calm me down whilst retaining some fun.

Kick start only.
11,800 miles.
Scorpion Race Can, pretty sure its miles over the noise limit of Earth.
Talon Hubs and Excel Rims with 120 and 160 tyres.
Braking Wavy front and rear discs.
Braking 320mm caliper mount.
Tag fat bars, really chunky and quite wide.
Ohlins rear shock, currently set for a larger than myself person as its way too hard.
Initial thoughts are "This feels like 40mph but is 70mph" and "Mmm thump thump" 
Tanks a bit of an odd one, slots over the frame and main tank doesn't last long, probably ~50 miles. Assuming reserve is 1 side of the tank and main is the other?
Either way its pretty fun so far but a chav magnet so is kept out of sight when I'm not around.  |

Hello hearing aids.
As for security, you could keep that in your bedroom.

Thats generally how tanks on these types of bikes go, half over one side and half over the other. Usually the fuel drains out of the same side so you can modify them and fit an extra fuel tap over the other side. Otherwise its stop, lean the bike over and slosh the fuel over the other side unless you ride it properly and it slops over
Sub 50 miles for a tank is a bit shyte though, you sure about that? I can more than that from my little two-fiddy
