Cheers mate, yeah I think that Metz front tyre would have to be the most expensive bloody front tyre to get imported! It will be great to see your M50 if that is what you end up getting too. The M50 is a damn nice cruiser.

So... when will Mr Toaster be ready to ride? Are you healing up well?

Well that's more the issue.... general healing is okay, some back pain and lots of rib pain still. The management of avoiding further blood clots will be ongoing for months and my liver will take a long time to heal. With a little family to care for the last thing we need is a blood clot taking me out at 36! The lung clot was bad enough!!

I have three appointments coming up to work out the extent of the memory damage from the head injury. Looking on the bright side, I guess I am fortunate to have taken off enough speed before impact to avoid a worse injury - even if this injury may cost me my career!

I will post up pics once the project is finished. BMZ2 is doing a great job of managing the rebuild work on my behalf. A true biker showing positive spirit - going out of his way big time to help another biker in need.

p.s. can I have the spanking now 007XX?

Heal up quick and proper first and you'll get it good, promise!

Pics... all this talk means nothing without photos.

Mr Toaster.... either you post up some damn fine pics or I'll beat you to it and flood this thread with pics of a brand new upgraded black fatboy.

The choice is yours, choose wisely my little bread burning mate.

Still broken, ironically even our kitchen toaster broke of old age the other day. Not bad for a 12 year old engagement present.

BONUS!

I originally ordered 160 and 260 Metz tyres for the bike.

Cancelled and confirmed cancellation of the 260 I sourced locally (cheaper).

Given the 160 Metz is not imported to NZ through dealers, I went ahead with that order only, with reduced shipping.

The company confirmed my order for the 160 only.

Guess what arrived.... the 160 AND the 260.

Thanks for the free Metz 260 tyre
