    I think they wanted KTM's but they turned them down - hence the BMW's.

    No it was definately they didn't think a couple Of TV stars could do it.
    One of KTM's advisors said that pair didn't have a hope in hell of doing it.
    They just said it a bit more politely :D
    But back OT looking good on the restoration. Excellant stuff so far.

    Looking good spanner. Reminds me of the days gone past when I used to tinker around with bikes. Had a doner bike of a Suzuki GS400 twin (cost me £35) that I made into a hard tail chop... Will see if I can find the pics (old school photograph pics!!)

    Keep up the good work and keep posting the updates... Looking forward to seeing it finished :)
