    "Baby Blades back"

    Well after 6 months my Baby CBR 250RR Fireblade is coming home tomorrow its been in the shop that long slowly getting done.
    Nothing major really wrong with it, had the front forks rebuilt & legs powder coated, new rear shock (Good 2nd handi), 2 new tyres, new chain-sprockets, new fairings, 2 pack painted wheels, new switch blocks L-R, valve clearances done, carbies balanced and dynoed tuned.

    It be a fearsome machine all 45 rear wheel horsepower and 16Nm of torque as per dyno chart the mech took it for a run to scrub the new tyres in and said it fairly screams.
    As he dyno'ed it he had to run it up to the red line which is at 19,000RPM so yeah it screams alright.
    Looking forward to riding it although it has 170 HP less than my V4 and 108 Nm less torque so some adjustment to the riding style is in order here I think.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.

    I had a CBR400R a while ago; these pocket rockets are so much fun to ride. The 400 only goes to 14500 rpm though.
    It's the motorcycle equivalent of a .22 SMLE!
