Well, what's left of it after I taught her about `righty tighty, lefty loosey'...

As you can see, we're doing things the `proper way' when it comes to starting riding :)

When she's studied the shop manual enough to work out how to re-attach the wheels :D


Going to take the whole bike back to the frame, paint it blue, hammer swingarm straight, fit new plastics, re-wire it all, new tyres, brake shoes, speedo, mirrors, sew up a new seat cover, cut out rust in rear guard and mebbe weld it or even fibreglass patches to sort it...

It's a hard road finding the perfect woman ... but it seems you're inculcating the right attitude to scooter ownership. I durst dare think that she will be feeling a sense of pride when it is finished and riding it!

Good on you Tom, it's a darn good thing you are doing!

Just leave out the nitrous and turbo okay? :msn-wink:

Teach her right!
There must be an appropriate amount of parts, left over after final assembly, that have no known location... yet the bike still functions!:cool:

Good 2 c a brother helping out, all mine did when I was younger was time himself as 2 how long it took him to dump me off the back of the bike while he wheel stood the dam thing :2guns:, but man can I hang on or ditch a bike with finesse these days, so I should prob thank him (NOT)

Hope you're labelling it all as it comes off, boxes help prevent loosing the bolts you're supposed to have left over at the end :msn-wink:
