Tested by John Milbank | £179 plus fitting | www.datatool.co.uk Would you want your motorcycle back if it was stolen?

21st October 2016

John finally finds an excuse to put his new-found welding abilities to good use… The point of Cada Día has always been that, besides the paintwork, I’d do all the work myself. All the parts should be readily available (though some, like from Evotech, were developed using this very bike), and if they’re one-offs, then…
