2008 Range Rover Sport TDV8 HSE Buckingham Blue

Drool!
Lots of lovely bikes there
Had a few bikes in my time too, Matchless G80S, BSA M33 (B33 engine in a M21 frame) and after that a succession of Japanese bikes nearly bought a Triumph Tiger 750 back in 1976 but the shop sold it the day before I could afford it bought a Suzuki GT380 in its place currently I have a FJR1300 which replaced a Yam R1 Sons of dogs come hither and get flesh

That depends on how many you have

There is nothing quite like a big bike given a decent road and fair weather.

I've done the big sports bike thing in the past and I had a string of big Ducatis, but there are far too many idiots on the roads these days to be safe, so I tend to stick to slightly more sane speeds now

Seeing your BSA flydive takes me back. It is pretty much identical to my CCM, but without all the road legal stuff. Mine was an out and out moto-X machine.

Agree, you can never relax in today traffic, always in the look out for the next that is going to cut you out.

And the Red one, the Rocket is big, engine almost the size of the TDV6, is a 3 cyl. 2300cc.

I thought I'd post a few pictures to show how the Cobra is coming along.
The engine is now installed and looking pretty good.

The boot is all panelled up:

The front suspension is all built up:

as is the rear:

The batteries are installed:

I'm hoping to get it on the road within the next month.
Looking forward to spring

Not too long now I hope, maybe another month. I have the registration now, so that is no longer an issue. I'm having the exhausts ceramic coated and that is a 3 week lead time, so I think that will be the limiting factor.
