Could you imagine me being this involved with the project then missing out on one??? :(

Was it Simon Wild you dealt with through Raleigh?
If it was, have a word with him. He's a decent lad. Sure he'd help you if you helped him. :daumenhoch:

Yes mate, it was Simon. Been talking to him almost everyday for what seems like ages now getting this bike as good as humanly possible. Simon is a top bloke, and has fought tooth & nail to keep the project going.
How do you know Simon then???
PS. Got a mag the other day through the post off the bay, had a full page story on "Shooter!". :daumenhoch:

Simon is a legend in my eyes... His desire to get this bike built and released has been superb, powers that be have tried to pull the plug on several occassions but the project was something he believed in [along with myself and DaveMac] and I think the powers that be are in for a suprise when they see how these bikes sell... 8)
Sir Simon Wild.... ;)
Geth:
I worked at Raleigh with Simon.
I was the one originally asked whether to go for a Burner revival.
I did some research and decided that if it was gonna be done that we would have to do the bike as close to the original as possible.
The bosses there are very hard to push in a direction that they think unprofitable to them and thats put in the nicest way!
I decided not to go ahead with it. Looks like Simon decided to.
It would have taken a massive argument for it to get to that point!
I hope it works out for him.
I got this email from him just the other day -
"Got to keep it real mate like we discussed"

That was lost to me for years! My brother used it as a cover for one of his school books.
I managed to track one down on ebay a couple of years ago. :daumenhoch:
