Quite a paperweight.Looks expensive.

I'm hoping mr Suzuki builds things strong.

I have a nice racing Suzuki gearbox if you would like it?
Wow Jeff that tyre has seen better days?

Moss won a race on tyres down to the canvas in a Cooper in nineteen fifty something, somewhere in South America IIRC :?:

The guys at Fury Sportscars picked it up (the tyre) when they where doing the new silencer and sorting the gearbox oil leak (misting past the fill allen bolt would you believe....bit of PTFE and all good). I had terrible vibration at Goodwood and thought I'd lost the balance weights.....but this was the cause and you can see it on the video.

Not rubbing....I flatted spotted it (in the manner of Lewis ;)) and then it always finds the same spot under braking...
