Found this piccie so thought would add it.

Going back a little, here's Impulse completed and ready to load into the van (fairing removed for transportation), with its first shakedown not far away.

That really is a nice piece of Brit. "hengeneerin'" Tony  and it looks "right" as well, in the manner and style that Brit. sprinters should look!!Alfie Hagon and George Brown I am sure would have agreed....... Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin

Just for clarity, Impulse belongs to guy I know by the name of Paul, the restoration work was done by his good mate and fellow Monkey, Dslam.

I was watching the resto from first viewing of the rusty bits, throughout it's progression, as I've known Dslam since we were both at school.

Paul did the first shakedown at the 2012 VMCC Festival 1000 Bikes at Mallory Park marking its public outing for something like a couple of decades (?), then Dslam did further shakedown runs at a VMCC Sprint at Wroughton, ready for the 2012 Brighton Speed Trials.
