All the front went to the trash too and we changed it for the Yamaha MT-09. We built it in aluminum with the tank, seat and rear merged in one whole part. Since we didn't have much time, we thought that making a single piece would give us more time and it would be easy to fit on the bike. So, we started the most difficult part of the project which was to build the tank and rear. As Yamaha told us, our kit should ideally be "plug and play". We didn't mention that part of the project's challenge was to make it without chopping any part of the bike. The tank and rear frame were two of the main parts we had to change for sure. Our main idea was to get rid of almost everything that connects people to the original XSR look. It was great to take part in it - even knowing that it would be very difficult for us to manage the show with all the other projects we had in the pipeline for the next few months. In the end it took us 4 months to build the bike, ready for it's premiere at the Wheels and Waves. Of course we accepted and felt very happy and proud. "Yard Built" is a program we respect a lot, since it was conceived with a great attitude and spirit and gave birth to so many amazing creations by the best builders around. In January 2017 we were surprised by Yamaha Portugal with an invitation to participate on Yard Built, with a XSR700 as a base. It seemed like a really fun bike to have and perhaps to modify - those were our secret thoughts! It was a 50 Kms very technical track with a lot of curves and it was really surprising how agile and fast the bike was.
We always like to try out new bikes to have a diversified experience and improve our technical knowledge and that bike had just been recently released. The emergency services attended and found a woman seriously injured.In May of 2016, at the Portuguese event Art & Moto, we asked Luis Figueiredo, Yamaha's marketing director, to try out the new XSR700. “We treated a female patient at the scene and took her to hospital as a priority.”Ī Met Police spokesman said they were called in by the ambulance service at 8.15pm “to a report of a woman who had fallen from a funfair ride in Yiewsley.

ORBITER RIDE UPDATE
Don’t know of any update yet but praying she is OK - her kids see it all happen. Toots Loveridge, who was also at the fair, said: “She had her kids with her. “My daughter and her friends went to the fair on Monday and said the bars on the rides were clicking as though they might come off, and there were such big gaps she was scared she’d fall through.” Woman fighting for life after falling from funfair ride in west London
