    Yep, anything Gary picks up is interesting. He's my inspiration.

    He's my forum version of 'Keeping up with the Joneses.':D

    And what great finds they have been.

    Probably fair and honest to say that we are equally in awe of each others' collection.

    Ooh, genuine Honda boxes too. And a glimpse of what appears to be a great 'man cave'.

    That should be my next inspiration. Almost pointless having these great bikes without a 'proper' home:(.

    Zoom in on the bowes :)

    what I found for my sp1 there isn’t a lot wrong with what’s on it just an odd stone chip odd rub here and there that comes with a 20 year old bike.
    1 brand new petrol tank
    1 front fairing
    1 rear seat cowl
    1 front mudguard all brand never fitted.

    2nd hand but mint rear fairing and one mirror worth sitting in my car yesterday for a 9 hr round trip.

    Just the side fairings to find that could be a lot harder???

    Damn. You've got the fastest colour too:(;)

    I'll have to dig out my old Castrol jacket to add a few mph to mine!!:D

    Nice functional shed too, although we always need more room!

    Oh, and look what I got today::)

    gary1966! Pure treasure you have there. I would love an SP1 or SP2 (or both).

    Beg borrow and steal and get one now they are only going way one up up and up , my advice would be to anyone is buy the best one you can afford as parts for these are ridiculous, there is nothing like it in the shed I get excited just unlocking the door to look at it.
