Thanks for the kind welcome folks. Here are a few pics of the previous steeds -
My first Lude. Not bad for £400, BB1 with no rust on the rear arches and pretty nippy. Only sold it as it was too small at the time
My first VR4. Aftermarket styling had already been done when I purchased it. Turned a lot of heads, but probably for the wrong reasons! Sold it as it was costing me too much to run
My second VR4. Purchased this with the intention of keeping it for a few years. Turned out the seller had misrepresented it somewhat so sold it for parts before it threw up some silly bills.
I'll stick some pics of the new Lude up tomorrow. £481 including 6 months tax, it has a rather comfy leather interior too which is a bonus.
