Got me RedZed running the other day.......
turned fuel on, kick her over a few times with ignition off to prime carbs.....
then turned ignition on and started 1st kick :shock: :P :twisted:

I've still got to fit the rear brake lever and sort the exhaust out properly...
I've got a nice Kerker coming from Padders... :twisted:

Image

Need to sort tank badges too..... Crossing T's & dotting I's

Image

Even managed to get mrs P on the bike :shock: :shock: :shock:

You old 'smoother talker, Chris...
I only ran the bike for a minute or so, but it sounded real good & sweet & no smoke :wink: haven't balanced the carbs or fine tuned the timing yet :shock:

Gnasher - custard creams are naff - a proper biscuit has chocolate on it :!:

Mr Churchill, I can imagine you with your white lab coat and clip board :lol:

Jack AVON Calling, I agree mate, I'll make sure she's got her shades on next time :wink:

I know its never gonna be a prize winner :oops: but as a 'bitsa' I'm hoping the bike will run nice (see if the welded crank holds) and then get the nitrous working. I have already fitted the micro switch on the carbs so it comes on at 9/10 full throttle :twisted: Just need to run the bike for a few hundred miles to iron out any problems :lol:

Pisstakin' aside, she looking hot ... er and the bike :lol: :lol: :lol:

If you're puttin' N2O on you really should figure out how to stop her again :shock: I think the black pipe is more appropriate!
