Good 'ere innit?

The bike lives!!

Still in bits, but after lots of carb cleaner, lots of battery charging, lots of swearing, and lots of days, it finally makes the right noise....I very nearly orgasmed let me tell you.

So, the cosmetics are on hold for now. The race is on to get some riding done while the summer's here. It started 2 days ago, so I rekon that gives me about 2 weeks.

New rubber at the weekend, sort my brakes out, quick oil change, and ill be speeding by teatime.

And to think that this time yesterday, I was ready to sell it as spares!
