Bloody Hell Vic, No objection to your photos of your project showing your other fine machinery in the background (just to make us all envious) but you could have at least scrubbed the red mud off the tyres and the stains off the exhaust pipe and muffler.

My bike history:- First Bike in 1968, BSA 650 Gold Flash (instant death plunger rear suspension), Honda 250 (the one after the Nightmare "Dream"), 1967 ex NSW Police Trumpy Tiger 100 (paid $475), 1973 Kwaka 900 Z1 (only bought it because I couldn't find a BSA 750 Rocket 3 new at the time in 1973) rode it for 24,000 miles and sold it in mint condition for $1,450 (would get 10 times that for it today), last bike Yammy XS1 (now a collectors item) frame successfully modified by me to eliminate the instant death wobbles, with a TX front end and a 2 into 1 exhaust that produced the sweetest sound you could ever hope to hear from a twin cylinder motor bike engine. This bike is in Perth, still operational and under the care of my best mate. Our strategy is to keep it for the next 50 years and then sell it back to Yamaha for $1,000,000 or more as the item that saved their company.


Cheers Cisco.
