A bit quiet here recently, so here's a photo of my 302 from a sunny winter's ride in the countryside.

First time I've taken it for a serious ride since I rebuilt it - a very different experience from my normal ride (650cc Guzzi).

Not sure I really liked it at first but on the way home (after riding for a couple of hours) I began to enjoy it :D

To be honest, the silencer was a mess! I had to grind off the rusted chrome it was so bad.

I then rubbed it down with wet and dry to give it a key and sprayed it with the cheapest matt black spray paint from ebay. It rubs off easily and I expect it'll just fall off when i hose down the bike - but it was cheap enough to just re-spray it when needed.

cheers
