Great looking bike, Matt.
To this day it still annoys me that we had to buy the Sportkit in North America when it was stock for everybody else. haha.

btw, that garage wall in the background needs painting....best send me the Britten poster while you complete the task.

The bike was originally Canadian, Steve. I bought from guy who imported it two years ago.

I suppose you'd also want me to send one of the 'Baby Britten' model kits I have still sealed in their box too!? :laughing-rolling: (btw John Britten was my 2nd cousin - that was a gorgeous bike!)

Cheers, Matt

I was going to say, look at all that empty space in the garage its way to neat and tidy plus that floor is much to clean.
I'm going to have to fly there and dribble stuff and clutter it up for you. Let's see, uhm, I'll need some falling apart boxes full of bike bits, saw dust, oily rags, peg board , broken tool or two, uhh .......

I regularly have people offer to 'help' me mess up my garage! :roll: :whistle:

Welcome Jagtoolman,

Lovely addition to your fleet, and clearly it has gone to a very good home. Neatness and an almost OCD attitude to cleanliness and order will definitely stand you in good stead for CBX ownership.

If you have any CBX questions, search out Roland Skate who is the CBX Meister and races the Race No. 666 CBX 'Beast'. Roland will be only too happy to assist and will not disappoint.

Welcome to the fun factory!

Cheers...Tony

Cheers Tony,

I have already had several conversations with Rol, and do look forward to meeting him sometime.
He's not very far from me but I'm mostly working interstate at the moment.

My speedo is being repaired at the moment (and I'm in SA), but hopefully soon I'll get a chance to visit Rol, and show him my new baby.

Matt.
