Then on to Hartside, where I met the mechanic who works at "Penrith Motorcycles" and his Kwaka W650 cafe racer, I've met him on this once before and fell in love with this bike, and has he got it well sorted, Ohlins on the rear, uprated springs and re-valved forks, the pipes arent for decoration and what music they make (Nearly had a trouser accident when he let rip leaving the car park :unsure2: )
