    Awesome stuff there Frosty! And you picked a good guy (Gary @ GP) to do the engine work for yah.. have you seen his VFR frame RVF lumped racebike just like mine? only he wont tell people how many ponies its got, my guestimation would be around 70hp.

    At least now we can say "the floods did it" and they'll fix it... with everything else on this side of the hill!!!

    ajturbo's picked the bike up and is bringing it up to Frosty's Wednesday.

    Hopefully some of you guys will volunteer to help get it out of the van, because we had to take the front end of the bike to get it in the van, or aj's dogs would have been walking back to Tauranga.

    We got to have a good look at the front end when we pulled it off.

    Not too bad I guess.

    Nothing new front wheel, triple clamps, forks, and brake calipers wouldn't fix.

    Some nice upside-down forks and some flat bars would look the dogs bollocks...
    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 It just gets better and better. First off My beloved viffer arived today from wellytown .Poor baby looked pretty sad sitting on her belly.
    has anybody ever seen a vfr750 chopper before??--Ill have a pic of her soon
    I got a call from my van mechanic --he diddn't say a fucking word---just held the phone over a running van motor and revved it up---yeeeeehaa.
    and the best bit--I pulled the cluch in on my old xj900 and it diddnt hurt
    went swimming and im getting good mobility into my arm -
    it just keeps getting better.

    I've found another motor for my race van and this time its being installed by someone proffessional-and hes going to replace all the hoses.
    My Viffer is hopefully on its way up to me on monday for the decision to be made what to do with it -fighter it/half fairing or full rebuild.
    Feeling has returned to my left hand and I can lift a coffee cup without dropping it -yeeehaaa.
    The piston kit has arrived for mella yella so gary at GP trading is going to fit it and do a wee bit of tuning.
    All in all pretty positive
    I'd go for the full rebuild myself...
    Those who insist on perfect safety, don't have the balls to live in the real world.
