You need to wheel it out the garage tomorrow, throw your leg over it and ride it for at least 50 miles.

Then when you get home take a piccie of your big cheesy grin. LOL

You can come visit me if you like, PM me and I'll send you my address if you can't remember it.

Moggi,

I am the owner of the aforementioned "Frankie"..........

Frankie is a 2000 RSV Mille but was sold by a dealer an "R" variant, the only remotely "R" bits are the Ohlins suspension.

After 1000 miles the sprag failed and was repaired with BMW, Yamaha, Ducati & Aprilia Parts.

The bike ran for over 40 minutes on its paddock stands with no problems , then went for a run up to Lakeside to meet AMB67 , when things started to go wrong again and on reaching Lakeside the bike broke down again.

This time the flywheel bolt had sheared off and the flywheel had spun o the crank destroying itself and damaging the crank.

Fankie is short for Frankenstein on account of all the "differant" manufacturer parts involved in the repairs

What's the story with "Frankie" then guys?? :confused
