    Love Neil, he's definitely the secret star of the show, does he want to come club racing? he'd love refitting some 16 year old Fireblade fairing after I've completed spannered it at the goose neck
    Also, is that Tohru Ukawa's 1997 Suzuka 8hr winning RC45?? or just the bodywork from it? proper piece of suzuka history if it is.

    🙀Nooo! Please don't let Neil go! I know you're the face of this team, but he's the one whose "cracking smile" I will always associate with it! 🙈😹 Sorry! Couldn't help it! But, who else can be so adorable even when he's grumpy & giving you the middle finger salute!😼😽
