Hi Ross looks nice, wow does you wife no how much you have paid for the Ohlins shocks ?

Henry. I've solved this problem by telling her that I'm sponsoring a fresh water well in a small village in Botzwanna, Africa and that all the cheques that I write out are for them. ;) Paying for an orphans opperation is another good one......

Of course you can Hoony. Just form an orderly que...... :)

Water wells in Botswana cost less than Ohlins in fact some African countries cost less than Ohlins ;D

If I get down to the HBBB next year maybe we can swap a ride on my VF250 or even one of the Cota trials bikes.

Anyway glad to see you got that Yamaha thing out of your system. No good could have come from that aberration.

Yeah but does a small African country look as good on a bike like this? I've tried an American country but it leaked a lot of oil..... :'(

That's pretty weird. We ordered them from the shop from the Talon distributor. They arrived with Cappra on the packaging but the bolt holes didn't match up. The shop took a pattern of my bolt holes and sent them off to the distributor who in turn spoke to Talon.
Apparently the wheels on all four of my Cappras are wrong. Don't ask me how but according to Talon they are. ::) Even though Cappra sprockets I've ordered from other people over the years have fitted. They must have got it wrong too.

The bike shop I got them off discounted them for me as they didn't want the bullshit of it all and all I have to do now is re-drill the bolt holes.

What a bastard! The chain is hitting on the shock so I'm gunna have to move the shock mount out a couple of mm. In fact I'll have to do it to the other two in time as well.
Still working on the pipe but have a VF pipe and muffler on for the time being. Little things like pegs and stuff are gunna have to be tidied up but she's all ready to ride (once I move the shock mount)
I couldn't be happier if they gave me a second willie..... 8)

No. I meant a third one. ;)

I'm dedicating the bike to The Christian Bros and Greg Flood as they were the guys crackin' around on them (at a great rate of knots) at the time..... ;)

Where are all these extra Willies going? Do you wear some sort of jacket with lots of pockets? wouldn't want to drop one on the track.

bike looks great, a fast project is always a good project
