    on ya Boob

    So thats what ya been flogging everything off to pay for?

    Be careful man... big diff in weight, watch the centre of gravity when doing the slow stuff like parking, greasy shit under your boots. No injury but hard on the bike when you drop the fuker let alone embarrassing.

    Enjoy the power!!!

    Next event...

    Aussie - Melbourne - Perth - Darwin - Alice - Melbourne... April-May 2011

    Ah yes. Bringing the bike out the garage one morning my boot slipped on wet leaves as I was getting off to shut the garage door. I slipped, bike slipped and and I effectively just managed to lower it gently to the ground (I posted a thread on how I got it back up).

    Embarrassing indeed.

    Don't let Woot turn to Toss

    Pls post pics once is your bike is resprayed - maybe have a google to see how the bike looks in different colours even though you like the blue. I always thought it looked awesome in the '80s in solid colours (but not slid blue), although I have a soft spot for my bertie basset original colour scheme - so go two-tone?

    [QUOTE=Boob Johnson;1093615]DUDE!!! Thats my paint job lol (Cobalt Blue). Thats the colour I want. Classic

    May I ask what you paid?

    Paid $390 including GST. Graphics were about $50(not shown on that pic). Was by far the cheapest, some other places quoted twice as much. Although the prep work was painstaking, and tedious, but the end result was worth it. My advice for you if you do get it painted is get ALL cracks plastic welded properly by the professionals(can recommend another place locally if required). We filled in a few minor cracks with bog and sanded smooth but I noticed they have reappeared, so that was a mistake.
