Project DR is underway

[kro]

No sorry, I still have no available cash to complete it. I am only a hairs width off selling the whole thing right now.

[kro]

Oh well, I gave it a shot. The bike is being viewed by a serious prospective buyer in 2 weeks, I'm guessing this guy will buy it, as he is a DR enthusiast.

Sorry you don't get to see the finished product.

STOP THE PRESS

Through a series of events bordering on the miraculous, Project DR has been ressurected from the dead. On or around Thursday, I will be receiving a whole DR 250, which I got for a bargain, and it has a fully functioning powerplant.

My prospective buyer refused to purchase the bike after viewing it, stating that he could not possibly take it off me, after I had obviously spent so much time making it look that good, which was a nice shot in the arm for me. Instead, he offered to keep an eye out for the necessary hardware I needed to finish it, and he did exactly that.

Soooooo..........sometime in the next couple of weeks, you will start seeing a few more updates, and not long after that, hopefully within 3-4 weeks, a finished bike.

START THE PRESS

Fixed the speeling mistake there.

[cheese]

Mate this is fucking awesome news!!

[kro]

damn right it is, and I will have a whole other DR left over, that I can do another project with !!!!!!

OMG, I'm having a bike-gasm !!

[barty5]

good to here as we all said people are willing to help just dont give up

[cheese]

Hey is that family shit sorted yet?

[kro]

Not fully, but as a large number of KB'ers own firearms, I'm sure I could end it pretty quickly. :P Screw the stupid cow I say, I've been looking after my immediate flock, and she can go get jumped on.

I have arranged for the DR to be picked up tomorrow, and I should see the old girl on Friday, which will mean lots of weekend fun !!!!. If I am crafty, I might end up with 2 working DR's, and lots, and I mean LOTS of spares.

If you know someone who needs DR spares, I have made a fair bit of dough selling parts online, but still have lots left, so get them in touch with me, and I'll do them a sharp deal.

Freightlines collected the bike from our Albany branch yesterday at about 1pm, so I am on target to get the bike Friday. If it made it onto the right units, I could even see it tomorrow.

I feel like a 7 year at Christmas time....... so much anticipation.

Nice one Kro, good to see it coming together again for you.

Kro, I have been reading your progress, I did the same to a XL250 some years ago and the whole thing can be quite consuming. I hope it all goes well for you. I just got my hands on a mint DR350, so if it's photos you like, I'll post some soon.

[kro]

I love bike photos mate, post them up in here. Thanks for the feedback.

I just spotted this thread got going again, I haven't been round KB much lately - long story. Anyway, great news that you'll get to finish your baby. I look forward to reading more of your updates
