FS1E’s have genuinely been making that sort of cash for awhile now. A mate of mine in choir sold his about 4 years ago for £5000 and he had a que of people at that price. Today £6000 is not far off, I know bike prices have tumbled recently but FS1E’s are like early Ford Escorts they fetch a massive nostalgic price premium. Not something that I would consider but that’s irrelevant to what some will pay.

On reflection, you sir are a miserable cunt

Going with my you can’t park there theme.

Matt makes me laugh but have the feeling he should cut back on the Red Bull. He doesn't like Delboy much that's for sure.

Cheers Mate getting there slowly Skip. Waiting for a few bits to come is frustrating but it's not like it's excellent riding weather. Should get my shit together and get the seat off to be done while it's in bits.

There are two cars and 6 bikes in our household, I pay for my car and my 3 bikes. Insurance is about £600 tax is around £650. I don't drink or smoke so I don't mind the cost really, no loan payments or anything so I don't think it is an expensive hobby. Won't mention bike parts and stuff though

This must be the only non rattling one in the UK. I remember them as a kid and they all rattled like they wouldn't make the end of the week.

I think the donor was beyond economical repair, or so they said. Not that this build has anything to do with economics, looks like a throw money at it type of thing.

This one will have a Subaru Imprezza chassis and drivetrain

That's what the project is doing getting rid of the cheese and replacing with it Japanese stuff.

Interesting and very clever work. Why anyone would is beyond me but I find the project fascinating.

Weather was shit all weekend so not much chance of riding plus I had. Covid so needed something to do in a solitary fashion. So much time spent on the Sprint. Before Used this stuff on recommendation After wire brush quenching or painting.

Quenching some bolts to suit the murdered out theme of the Sprint and maybe protect them from rusting again.

Been out playing around with the Sprint today painting stuff. Also experimented with the bolts for the exhaust by quenching them. Heating them to just turn cherry red and dropping them in used engine oil. They look okay. It will be interesting to see if they are resistant to rust.

I think it has been recovered badly, it’s on the list to be sorted by the guy who did my CBF. New foam and custom cover without any daft Triumph logos.
