right then...though Tony Mirando (pictured on the far left) had his Honda MB5s longer, Brad is one of the first lads to ride in our neck of the woods with one of the wondrously crafted smaller Italian cc bikes that are common as wine in Euro, but not so much on our side of the pond...really a splendid package replete with quite smart mods including a Mikuni 24mm carb upgrade, 75cc head and piston (single ring), incredible sounding carbon Arrows exhaust, after market more breathable air filter, and other odds and ends (including slicks that were hand sliced for the road)...never mind that he is rather blistering fast enough to fling the bike to and fro with OEM parts if need be...good one Brad...

this looks to be the start of a really quite smart group of 50-75cc scoots accumulating round our great ESSCAPE area...hats off to Brad for taking the Euro plunge awhile back...
