    KP's new bike

    For a few days now, I've had a guest at my place. A KB'r from the shakey city ... taking a break from things. A little short of sleep and Alexandra seemed like a quiet enough place to rest.

    After a few days to recoup lost energy and sleep ... she decided to use some of her energy ....

    rearranging my home ...

    the whole place ...

    ... Now I cant find any thing ...

    A while back I promised her my old XJ750 ...


    for nothing ... (It wouldn't fit in the wheeley bin)


    so ... while the energy levels were still high, she decided to take the bike apart ...


    to take home ...



    in her car.

    She did have help ... (not me) ...

    Pic's of progress ...

    Yeah, the bike is now packed in the car, have to say it was some job (I took the photos) whilst a couple of good people loaded it up under the expert eye of minxi me (my daughter)

    Will update the progress as and when I get round to it!

    Crikey, she's enough of a menace on a 250! Think what she'll be like on a 750!

    Don't worry just yet, it needs to be put back together first! FJrider will put up the photos later! It just about fits in my car!

    Cheers! The car is a 7 seater Honda Odyssey, I knew it would come in handy for something other than carting MinxiMe about!
