    Hi all, registered a few mths back but only now getting round to saying hi.
    Bought this beaut "Ryewf" (or Ruth if you will lol) back in April from Lings Ipswich, £4500, RR5, 5700miles with full Yoshi :)

    Only problem now though, other than the damn weather, is the crank went bang back in July after I got it upto 10200miles!! Yes lots of mileage in just a few mths, no point having it if you don't use it ;)
    Its been sat in the garage since, fully stripped, everything is immaculate inside the engine, got all parts including a lightened/balanced crank, but waiting on 1 crank bearing which seem to be nill stock everywhere in Europe! (Brown ones).
    Other alternative is fit the replacement engine ive bought (8500miles), but there's no rush now the crap weathers here.

    Anyway, hi and il keep an eye out for any locals
