my indifferent luck -and other boring stuff

[FROSTY]

For the few of ya interested I may have broken my run of indifferent luck.
I've found another motor for my race van and this time its being installed by someone proffessional-and hes going to replace all the hoses.
My Viffer is hopefully on its way up to me on monday for the decision to be made what to do with it -fighter it/half fairing or full rebuild.
Feeling has returned to my left hand and I can lift a coffee cup without dropping it -yeeehaaa.
The piston kit has arrived for mella yella so gary at GP trading is going to fit it and do a wee bit of tuning.
All in all pretty positive

Sometimes we get to these points in life - do we just continue to push through all this shit that's stacking up against us and hope to get to clear ground....or do we turn away and take a different path.I've done a bit of both - in hind sight probably the wrong move every time - but so long as we keep moving...forward,sideways or back,it doesn't matter,just keep going and don't stop.

[Hooks]

AAAHhh mate !!! :eek:
Glad to hear you're on the mend :stoogie: ... Having things moving ahead helps with shit removal IMHO !!! Experience tells me that you are due some seriously good shit so hang in there.

As to the mighty VFR . :headbang: ....well I think you should take your time and get it right !! You will still have Mella Yella :scooter: to sort for the race day and that will keep you going for a while huh ?? Just keep it upright while testing ... :moon:

[crashe]

Hey thats great news Frosty... about ya hand mate.....
But only a coffee cup...? Not even a beer yet... aww man....

[FROSTY]

are you kidding beer -with the pain killers Im taking--Id be in lala land for a week :love2:

[betti]

and your point is? :innocent:

[Ms Piggy]

Good news dearie, maybe wotshername in Palmy has stopped sticking pins in the vodoo doll. :msn-wink:

Hope the pain killers are working well!

[Wellyman]

good on ya frosty. hope you mend soon so you can show us some photos of you racing.

[StoneChucker]

I hadn't realised your arm/hand was that bad! The fact that it's healing is obviously a good thing, and I'm sure it will continue to do so until you're back to the normal old wanker you always were :shifty: ;)

Ride safe, and upright.
Dave.

[Ghost Lemur]

Yes you have had some poor luck lately.

But you have also had some brilliant luck. You've been racing lots (results irrelivent, it's still doing something you're passionate about), you found the Pillion. Baby Bikie has come away unscathed from his walk abouts and first bin.

:first:

Ohhh hang On I need to take pillion along to protect me lol

Good to see your luck is changing and your getting back on your feet. :niceone: :niceone:

Words of wisdom Motu. It pays to keep moving on. When things aren't looking too good, remember " this too shall pass", like every other bad thing that happened once and has been long forgotton.

[justsomeguy]

Hey, I too would like to volunteer some free labour....... though unlike aff-man mine will be unskilled :eek:

So what do you say? Wanna be a supervisor and supervise some work until your hand gets back from the garage?

[FROSTY]

welll sure guys thatd be fun.

[aff-man]

welll sure guys thatd be fun.

Righty ho seeing as this is a custom job who has got the arty fartyness to chuck in some designs. Check out that other thread tony on street fighters... hahahahaha

Based on one of these maybe ....

[justsomeguy]

Time and place?

I'm working till Wed...... but am free after that for the rest of the week and every Evening except Sunday.

[justsomeguy]

This may be a bit difficult ... but you have to appreciate it

[Yokai]

How much of the front fairing is still there, and how much of the aeroscreen? Cos if you can keep the aeroscreen, paring it off the bottom half of the fairing, then naked + that arrow looks really good!

[gav]

Seriously, here are some streetfightered VFR750's for ya :2thumbsup

How ya getting it home???? I find out tomorrow when someones heading that way!....

looks like HR Giger had an aneurism (big word for the day)

[JohnBoy]

Frosty... sorry to hear about your crash. i have been staying on the kapiti coast since Xmas eve and i saw where you went down. ouch dude... i hope all is well.
i have some contacts in welly if you need a hand with anything parts etc...
just message if there is anything i can help you with.

sorry if this is a bit off topic but after seeing the hole in the fence i felt a little worried.

[Kwaka-Kid]

Awesome stuff there Frosty! And you picked a good guy (Gary @ GP) to do the engine work for yah.. have you seen his VFR frame RVF lumped racebike just like mine? only he wont tell people how many ponies its got, my guestimation would be around 70hp.

yea well we will see what we shall see---bit of luck MY will be putting out about that much. -now I need to find a back shock

[Blakamin]

At least now we can say "the floods did it" and they'll fix it... with everything else on this side of the hill!!!

[riffer]

ajturbo's picked the bike up and is bringing it up to Frosty's Wednesday.

Hopefully some of you guys will volunteer to help get it out of the van, because we had to take the front end of the bike to get it in the van, or aj's dogs would have been walking back to Tauranga.

We got to have a good look at the front end when we pulled it off.

Not too bad I guess.

Nothing new front wheel, triple clamps, forks, and brake calipers wouldn't fix.

Some nice upside-down forks and some flat bars would look the dogs bollocks... :headbang:

[FROSTY]

well It just gets better and better. First off My beloved viffer arived today from wellytown .Poor baby looked pretty sad sitting on her belly.
has anybody ever seen a vfr750 chopper before??--Ill have a pic of her soon
I got a call from my van mechanic --he diddn't say a fucking word---just held the phone over a running van motor and revved it up---yeeeeehaa.
and the best bit--I pulled the cluch in on my old xj900 and it diddnt hurt
went swimming and im getting good mobility into my arm -
it just keeps getting better.

[Riff Raff]

has anybody ever seen a vfr750 chopper before??--Ill have a pic of her soon

[ajturbo]
