Thanks for the nice words my friends

I'm gonna fix this stays this winter, perhaps brace them with half round tubes. And for the weight, that is something I can work on along the way.

@ Janne: perhaps next spring I can drive down to Skåne with the Roadster and we go for a drive together?

Yesterday, I drove 400 km round trip to take a 10 minutes noise test... It was a pain to drive such a long way with the Roadster on the trailer, just for that, but no choice, it had to be done. I was worrying a bit about the noise with my motorbike exhaust muffler (BMW R1300K), pretty short, with an integrated catalyst converter. But I passed the test! Readings were between 77 and 81 dB, max authorized is 84 dB. So I'm happy and relieved that this inspection and noise test are behind me now

Next step will be MOT, and I already know, from the inspectors, that I will have to change my seat harnesses, 4 points are not authorised on road in Sweden, and I hadn't noticed that on the manual. I might also need to weld a stainless steel elbow to the tail of the exhaust muffler to respect the exhaust gas outlet angles. I will also protect my rear wing.

But after all the stress from this end of the week, the Roadster is back in the garage, garage is locked, and I'll just take this week-end to relax and think about something else
