..002 can kill a good project, as tommy said best it happend now. Nice you have a back up plan

You fuckers got riflles in scouts ,,,I got a dirt bike but no one would give me a gun then.

We got to go to the police station and use the indoor range, they let us fire the new Glocks they had (with paint cartridges loaded in them instead of bullets), it was pretty awesome to be able to do that! My step-father at the time was an officer...now he's just a douchebag cheater who won the lottery (literally for over a mil) then immediately got a divorce from my mom and I never heard from him again..been over 10 years now...I say I'm better off without that role model anyway. But it was still cool firing the glocks. lol :D

That frame is lovely. I'm waiting till I buy a car till I strip mine down to the frame. But it IS something that WILL/MUST be done. Unfortunately my bike has rusted a bit so it'll last the summer then down to the frame in the winter and i'll drive a car.

That turned out excellent! Man there's nothing to those bikes eh?? Looks empty...nice and simple! :D

You did a real nice job on this.

may be simple, but still costs a bit to do.

was off today so dialled in the timing on the little G, finished off all the wiring (all works) awaiting the chain then I can tighten up the mag properly.

Still need to find a Dellorto filter (steel one) 32mm female thread.

something like this;

dellorto-air-filter-10129-3.jpg

found the tank was like sand inside :( I soaked the inside with vinegar and I think this is the rust particulates.

I have some acid stuff from the FZ tank, so i'll have a go with that and fill up with pre mix, to stop the rust reforming.
