I think it was Terry who i was at school with ? do you go on any rallies ?

[wrecklessrobbie]

My older brother terry. I forgot he went to kingsway for a while. I have a picture of him and a few others including mark Sealy playing rugby at Clarence street.
Last rally I did was isle of Wight 4 or 5 years ago, been over to Brid a few times. Started a company five years ago 80 hour weeks in Sumner , divorce, two kids on a weekend doesnt leave much time. Hopefully things will improve this year.

Going to give powder coating a go I think. There have been some interesting answers on here that have piqued my interest, and today I've been talking to a blaster and powder coater with a very good reputation. He knows his stuff and I'm now confident enough to give it a try. I'm looking forward to it. Going to be interesting.

My GP200 was built by Taffspeed. The forks, hubs, fuel tanks and cooling shrouds are powder coated and the rest painted by Pete Merchant. I don't know who did the powdercoating but it still looks the same as when it was new 14 years ago, with the exception of a scratch on the front right fork leg where a dirt bike was set against it for winter storage. The paint has held up very well, too, except for the fiberglass legshield toolbox. The paint on this has bubbled where moisture from inside the toolbox worked up through the fiberglass and under the paint.
