    What circuits are you likely to be racing at Billy if your plans are successful, I want to know how far I'm going to have to travel to deprive you of a few packets of hobnobs, well, I seem to have a reputation to live up to according to DD and Tiglet :p
    Best of luck with your viewings and happy days regarding the HMRC, like you I've never had f@ck all back until a couple of years back when they paid for my Hilltop remap on the triple ;)

    OK, so we're not allowed to know what your plans are for bike or class ...... so, how about we get an idea of which circuits you're likely to do (you may need to throw in an odd one as a curve ball so that we can't guess the bike/class too easily from the cicuits' race schedules!) so that we can decide approximately how much a renewed Hobnobs fund needs to amass?

    Good luck with the search this weekend.

    Good luck Billy, all of those circuits are bit of a trek from the north west, but you never know I might just show up for Donnington should you travel north..

    It's a bit of a trek for you but I can highly recommend Aprilia Performance in Fazeley (Tamworth), Griff knows pretty much all there is to know about the bike and set up.....deals with a few track/race bikes as well :cool::cool:
    You get to stay in the workshop and he'll talk you through anything you want to know, as long as you make the brews and bring Jaffa cakes :joy::joy:

    Congrats on the new bike, Billy! That search certainly didn't take long. ;) Could we please see a photo of the whole bike and not just parts?? :rolleyes: Inquiring minds -- and eyes-- want to know. :)

    Congrats Billy, it's a well known fact if you pack all the spares to the track, those bits will never fail, unless you do a bit of agricultural racing. Fully equipped race bike may well be a long term bargain vs cheap bike and building it up to a competition level.

    Nice looking bike Bill, maybe the official BBR colours could replicate the colours of a packet of Hobnobs, just a thought :rolleyes:
