The culmination of five years work.

That is one gorgeous hunk of metal my friend

Just watched the video... . brilliant. Sound and looks fantastic

Beautiful bike Paul, I'm more than envious. I've always been a kettle fan (owned FAB for 33 years) and to be honest none of the other GT's do it for me, but that 500 is awesome right down to the colour. If you ever want to sell, I've got a £1000 burning a hole in my pocket, and I promise I won't haggle.

I might sell one exhaust for that very generous offer Steve

Congratulations Paul! What a cracker. Sounds absolutely gorgeous. A real credit to you. Well done

Wha'd'ya mean "bla bla bla"? . I'm serious.
Unlike you, you tight yorkie git, I don't hoard my money, I spend it mate.

Seriously though, I can be serious you know, if I could find the right T500 for the right money, I'd even consider a px with FAB, cash going either way, anyone interested.

Have a word with your favourite helpful Yorkie mate, Richard. I'm sure he'll do you a deal.
