    He normally flogs these things off once hes finished with the build.

    I just bought a rolling chassis of good old T/M and will try the old fashioned method by having a bash at making my own.

    Any one got a 1/2 decent motor for sale?

    If your plan to build something competitive you'll only need one of two things - your own machine shop or a very fat wallet

    Or maybe the plan is to keep riding his bud's bike 'cause he'll be finished his 'any time now'
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.

    No news there then

    Cotswald, throw a luncheon engine in it until something else turns up. Or see if Stu (the guy you are buying the frame off) wants a realistic price for the FXR motor he is talking about selling as well.

    Thats not a silly idea, but how did you know I bought the chassis? Do you have special powers?
    I still have lead bid on Peters bike at the moment, that motor might look good in it.
