• I must admit, I've seen your Thruxton earlier in the thread - great looking bike. The engine on the Kwaka is my favourite bit. Chrome plated bevel drive linked to overhead cam - tis bootiful. My statement on build quality was bound to bite me on the arse - I got the bike out of garage this morning, first time since weather took a turn - had a look under the lovely chrome mudguards and noticed little rust spots - only had bike four months, with hindsight I should have sprayed everything with ACF50, which I've now done, but new to the motorbike game.
