The Hitman belonged to one of the guys at the factory, he'd just had it re-sprayed and was sticking it together again. Looked good so I took a photo.

Isn't this going to overlap the Intense? If anyone ever make it to Queenstown, NZ try the carrot cake at Vudu Cafe that will end the discussion. I hope to be back for seconds one day.

Something which they say was to much a compromise from the bike. The Patriot is still being tested apparently with a bit more travel

Can you tell I'm eager to ride it this weekend? Patriot, they didn't mentioned anything, maybe I need to bring biscuits as well to get all their secrets out of them.

And those P7s are still regarded as classics.
