    Great shot that!!!

    Ok boys and girls, the kitty is building up, thank you all and keep up the good work.

    I've still not finished pulling "Matte Mille" apart, but the list remains fairly short for now. I am trying to fix the headlight as I expect the cost of replacement is astronomical, I managed to get the glass, (plastic but this way you know what I'm talkin about) off in one piece, to fix one of the shiny diffuser bits that was broken. The housing itself needs all the mounts re-attached aswell, so I figure if anyone has been unlucky enough to break the glass on thiers and replaced the whole unit, then the old one would be well handy to our cause.

    Dash was buggered but I have another one coming for a wicked price from Kerry Jeffs at KTL bikes.

    Indicators have been stolen out of Vickis box of Duke spares.

    Top fairing is currently being bid on from E-bay by another sponsor of ours Rob Taylor, Cherryrob around this place, thanks mate. So if anyone else is trying to knab it for the cause, STOP!

    Crazeyfox has the painting covered. Just spoke to the man and I'm dropping them round to him after work tomorrow. Massive cost avoided, thanks so much, no-one could ask for more! Send business this guys way folks, he's even gonna have a crack at fixing the headlight housing while he's peicing the fairings back together

    Still to sort out is the front subframe, fairing blade, rear cowel (seat cover thingy) if someone has the time, this bit may well still be lying roadside at the scene, tail light surround, gear and rear brake lever, clutch and brake levers, bar ends, mirrors, and left side switch block, (on off headlight switch has broken off, maybe can just replace that bit).

    I'm thinking we could get bar end mirrors for it, but cant remember if Sean liked them or not. I know him and I talked about them on a couple of ocasions, but cant have paid enough attention to his position on the subject. Flame points out he was gonna get the cracked mirror it always had fixed, so I guess he wanted to stick with stock ones, that was a waste of a paragraph

    That's it for now, keep up the good work everyone, we can never thank you all enough. Sean is a very lucky man indeed to have such a huge supportive group at this time.

    Thank tou all again.

    Drew and Vicki

    How straight does the frame look?

    It sounds like she's taken one hell of a slide

    Does he need tires? I have a set of Rennsports that may suit him.

    I'm looking forwards to Skels being back on his high horse again... did that dodge the question well enough?

    Goin off the PM's I've got, we're up to $455, but it hasn't all shown up in the account yet as some was payed after 10pm on Friday night. There is a cheque on the way from another investor, and if someone has a PAYPAL account could they pm me for an over seas benefactor to contribute.

    The support so far has been great folks, please keep it up, we're well under way, but ManDownUnder really wants a good excuse to get his back sack and crack waxed, and those of us less devient want to help Sean as much as possible.
