What is it you Britishers say?..."Norah Effing T*ts-off, that's Farken' amazin', Yuh?"

Lovely work except it makes me feel bloody inadequate, I can tell you,

Yuh!

Not a part of the Queen's English I'm familar with but I thinnk that I can appreciate the sentiment :lol:

It is really making my project look like an old nail. If I made my bike look that good, I'd have to carry a mop and bucket to clean the roads in front of me and get advanced cow shit on road forcasts before venturing out

I think you are getting confused with "what ho old boy that really is one spiffing mototorcycle ya" or as you would say "blimy Bruce thats one corkin scooter" or as us Scots would say "Fuk me thats a fukin beauty (so it is an at an o)"

I'd certainly say the standard is acceptable - but one thing is making me increasingly anxious. We've seen no photographic proof that those horrible rotted wiring clamps in the starter motor housing were properly de-rusted and refinished.

Simply stunning work guys. Look forward to the next one. P.

If you look carefully you will see that the rust gremlins are starting to eat away at the starter motor. Tomorrow the rest of the bike then the world

Sunday 17th march 2008

Pipes and Paintwork arrived this week. Lots of fiddly little jobs done today. Coils, front brake and calliper fitted and bled. UK spec seat and pressed alloy plate fitted. Paintwork badged up and on doesn?t seem much but it took us all day . Next week carbs and exhaust on and fire up!
