    If your ZXR was ready, I'd probably race that (if you'd let me). But, as @Murdo said, what I am planning to race is a secret...big reveal on the Saturday!

    Pull your finger out John. You must have something you can run down the track? Why don't you buy that RD400 @kiffsta is selling?

    I'm sorry to hear that John. Everyone I know (me included) seems to be having health issues lately. Hopefully, all will go well and you'll be back annoying us at the National Rally! Will you be at the National Rally?

    Take it easy John. National Rally will be fine if you're not there. You can't have a work-life balance if you don't have a life!

    Definitely not.

    All will be revealed on Saturday. The bike hasn't been run under load, so we'll be doing plenty of test runs on Saturday. I'm pretty sure it will make it through scrutineering (?).

    If @Murdo is fettling it then Scrutineering should be a cake walk.
    It will be interesting to see exactly what is it

    Yes, I would expect it to go through scrutineering without any issues because the good doctor has built (forget fettling) it. Hopefully, it will perform well and give us a bit of fun. I've been after a Nostalgia (pre-1980) drag bike for ages that I can whip out whenever it is allowed to run. Which, isn't too often as nostalgia meetings are few and far between. I think this bike will be perfect for once or twice a year running. Who knows, we might have so much fun that we'll run it at normal drag meets too.

    Another clue and that's it. It might look a little like this...

    It won't look like this...

    @Murdo just out of curiosity, is there any chance the TDRA will cancel this weekend's event because of the carowner virus?
