November - December 2004 

After much talking with various people regarding my ideas on the S4R, I decided to entrust the job to Dave Wood.

Others had recommended his services through Fatbloke (UKMOC) for all things two wheeled but being the other side of London for me, I never managed to get over to his workshop. I first met Dave at the Mallory Park Monster track day and he seemed to be a thoroughly decent bloke - that was until I saw these images he sent through to me!!!

What exactly is in store for the bike? Plans are still being hatched but I guess I will be able to build a completely new bike from the bits that will have been replaced.
