    Nice work Ettienne!

    My Olive Green 855R (you've got it already) is mechanically back up and running thanks to Shem. Bodywork is this year's challenge.

    There is a red 855 R up this way. I don't think he's on here but he is on voc. Also recently been chatting to a guy with an 855 t5r. He's also on voc but not on here.
