Not concourse or any thing but good nick, spent a lot of time on it over the last year or so, can't seem to PM you a picture so it's on here. This is the latest picture I have but since this I have got a seat cover with white piping, I have re-painted the tank in a blue more close to the correct colour, fitted a completely enclosed chain guard, sorted out the footrests which here are at the wrong angle and sorted the centre stand plus other bits and bobs.
