    Bitten off more thaN i CAN CHEW.

    Ive bitten off more than I can chew. Ive got a heap of work to do on mella yella -not the least of which being to increase the ground clearance on the right side.
    It seems the 7 fiddy needs just as much work to get it sorted.
    Holey shit am I gonna be burning the midnite oil.
    Ohh --and suggestions as to how to get a section welded into my exhaust system of both bikes would be apreciated.

    Let me know if you want to hook up with a decent TIG welder, I have a friend who's just finishing his certification.

    Bugger. If I was in Aucks I'd help. But what a great position to be in - having to prepare TWO race bikes!!!

    Best of luck Frosty.
    And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

    Well I -with some help figured out wots wrong. It seems somewhere from here to welly a sort of thimble fell off the clutch pushrod.
    Realising that working 7 days a week then nights on the racebike makes Frosty a grumpy boy Im paying a muffler crowd to sort out the exhausts on both bikes.

    Chin up mate. If it was easy every damn fool would be trying to do it.

    I guess it will all be worthwhile after that first win in pre89's
