As most of you will know I had a big off at the Wednesday Afternoon Sprints back in February which resulted in my blue VT suffering some pretty serious front end damage, not to mention my time to hospital. I am pretty much fully recovered at this stage and been back to two track days since May.

Well it has been repaired (re-bodied) into this Red VT with all the original running gear transferred over. There has been a bit of fine tuning of things, but now it is back as good if not better than it was.
