It was built as a race bike. I am impressed with its turning ability. I am trying to run the motor in currently

Are you sure it's a race bike; it looks too pretty?

GW.. Great Work! When a bike looks as good as that, you gotta make sure when (not if) you crash to throw yourself underneath the bike so as not to scratch it!! BTW do you walk sideways??  ;D

Hey Paul - Only a tree lopper could come up with a set of shocks like those, lol !!!

Is the wrecker that tried to diddle you on the 490 out of intensive care yet ?

The guard is going Monday along with some other stuff I'm posting

The 490 is off at the blasters, with the engine on the bench.

The 501 is currently getting some welding on the rear mounts and front frame engine mounts.

And that tree you said I should take down near the drive saved me the trouble last Sunday in the big storms and took out the front gutter (cool I wanted new stuff anyway, lol)

And the trees on the other side of the road in the reserve decided to cross the road and land on my Nissan D40 - It's F#$@%d !!!

See you at the back of the pack in ' 08  ;)
