Jorja made a big sacrifice to pay for our wedding. She sold her beloved Scorpio. You could almost say she was er wearing Her bike that day.
Shes been none to happy about being bikeless. But being a er shorter person finding a bike she fits was a real mission.
Roll on to 2nd of this month and for her birthday I gave her--um actually a little picture of a bike.
She trusted I knew what I was doing and So Last monday I flew down to Napier to enjoy the company of me ol mate Mstrs who had kindly perused a bike for me. Hed stored it in his gargre for a few days --Thanks mate a slightly eventful trip up and ze bike rolls straight into le Frosty workshop for a makeover. A NONE too happy Jorja hanging out for a ride saw her new toy in a million bits on wshop floor.
So FINALLY friday night my lovely lady is back on a bike and (thank gosh ) apsolutely loves it.
I must say her riding has come a bloody long way since first riding her little suzuki 125
So watch out Auckland for a lil lady on a bright red Spada 250

Amazing what a clean will do.
Sticky throttle fixed? And how was the cam chain situation?

Stuck throttle was just the twist grip rubber was too long.
The rust n stuff scrubbed off
Cam chains rattling a tadd but heaps quieter. Ohh and thanks to Action wreckers the speedo now shows a speed.
Chan still gopes flap flap cos iI've ordered 2 together :doh:

Glad she's happy with it Frosty.
I certainly had heaps of fun playing around on Zac's Spada. They are a great little bike! I was tempted to take it for a spin....but it was far too dirty for me to be seen on!

Dirty Indeed. More well seasoned.
It aint dirty now. all shiney with new paint n stuff.
The most important thing is thanks to the suiper low seat height Jorja fits it perfectly. Even the bars being raised a bit mean that its comfortable for her.
Other that the one "ohh shit" moment when I discovered the built in cruise control worked extremely well it was a suprisingly comfy ride back
