Thanks dude. Just waiting for this piss poor weather to turn and start racking up the miles.

Got a bunch of goodies to put on it. Then new jets and carb inlet to accompany the exhaust and open airbox. I also have to replace that license plate mount and grab a square plate. The thing is gonna snap off real soon.

Not to self: Don't try and kick these bikes over with flimsy ass shoes no matter how tough you think you are. Spent 20mins on Victoria street getting her going last night (she was hot). To make things worse I kept hitting the kill switch by accident :facepalm:

The sole of my foot is blue, got a grazed shin and I'm sure I've torn a calf muscle.

Luckily the ride outweighed the pain.

Tried my hand at tyre writing yesterday. Took me two hours. I'm pretty happy with the result. If I was to do it again I'd take the wheels off the bike :facepalm:

I like it, what did you use to write on the tyre?

It was from Bunnings. Can't remember the brand but CRC make similar ones.

Starting to look more and more like the bike I envisioned.
