i cant do it right now as i cant get upstairs due to broken bones but i have the Britten story on dvd. Any bike fan must watch it and i'd be happy to send a copy.

When the britten bike goes past the dukes at daytona on the back wheel its amazing!!! The duke rider looks over as if to say wtf :smt005

He cast and manufactured everything at home, used his wifes pottery making equipment for the body work.

Truly stunning bike!!!!

yeah that was my understanding too but with foggy and petronas being such 'giants' in racing they allowed the race bike to be built on the proviso that the road bikes were built, after 3 years of promises the bikes were almost 'ready' however the race bike was now slow compared to the newer japanese bikes and petronas pulled out. All the bikes were taken by petronas and beleived to be crushed or possibly locked away somewhere in the head quarters. I'm pretty sure no road bikes were ever sold and FPR went into liquidation, earlier this year all FPR wheels and racing components were sold via auction. There was some amazing kit for sale including team clothing etc... It was very reasonable too.

Is that husky yours?

I raced supermoto over the last 3 years, started on a trick yzf450, then an aprilia sxv450 and this year ran a ktm 450smr. Awesome fun but the bikes crash so well i pushed it too much on too many occasions and had quite a few moments laid on the tarmac.
