Well...She lives.

Easter weekend 2000 years ago, Jesus lives again. Easter weekend 2007, The Spada lives again.

That's right people, my beloved baby is back on the road after 2 months of looking very sad. I was going to take her for a birthday ride, but it's raining, so it shall have to wait. Although I've had fun getting mums cruiser 'round the corners at the same speed as The Spada, it's time to return to mine bike.

When the sun shines, a flash of blue and a big grin will be back.

Sweet!, remember to put up pics of it all fixed up. (before and after)

I don't know who is more pleased to see "The Mighty Spada" back on the road, him or me...although I suspect it is me...I don't have to share my bike anymore, I don't have to fit my riding in around hXc's work and other committments anymore...yippeee!!!
Seriously tho, it looks as good as it did pre accident (apart from a dent in the tank)...and all for about $700...contacts people, tis all about contacts...
Perhaps now hXc will go back to being a happy little joy germ, instead of an old grump

Woohoo! Congrats hXc, always did think it was a shame about the crash and subsequant injuring of the poor ol' unsuspecting Spada (and pilot)! Great news mate. Pics!

Excellent man, get those pics up soon

**MSTRS:Me** · 12th April 2007, 13:48

Here ya go....
Replaced taillight assembly, rear plastics, seat, front disc and caliper, straightened handlebars, rekitted front master cylinder, rewelded steering stops on the frame, right-side footpeg assy. New paint, lots of time saw her ready for the road. Tested and passed by me. New VIN etc from OnRoad proved all OK. Even got a flash new number plate...

Looks like a job well done.
Another one for the Sat rides?

**MSTRS:Me** · 12th April 2007, 13:59

hXc works most Sat & Sun - but when he isn't then I suspect so...

**McJim** · 12th April 2007, 14:17

I hope the insurance pay out coverd you for that flash new seat you got in Auckland!

Good to see the blue streak on the road again.

Nice one.

Goodonya! Enjoy the return of freedom hXc - way better than being cage-bound eh?

Cross your fingers for the return my 250...which is perilously close to a write off says the assessor (Which I'm sad about - 'cos I wasn't done with it yet, and the damage only looked superficial - goddam Suzuki charging $1500 for instruments!!!Feck!)
