I've never owned a loop, but my mate from Inverness Scott Muir built one a couple of years ago. Scott is up there with you for the quality of his rebuilds. I'm in too much of a hurry to the bike finished and inclined to cut a few corners. Also I'm a Yorkshireman, well known for having short arms and deep pockets. Anyway, Scott turned up at one of our "MacGiro" events with his newly built V7 and we had a nice tour of the Scottish Borders. I think he fitted 850GT barrels and pistons, and the bike certainly wasn't short of oomph. Handling encouraged a more "relaxed" style of riding compared to the V7 Sport and this loop was quickly dubbed "The Chesterfield" on account of it being like a comfortable old sofa!

I finally had the opportunity to install the leg shields today. Thanks a million to Cam3512. EldoMike, and of course Jas67 for helping make this happen.
