I've slipped and fell in my own drool 3 times now.

You going to try to post a video?

 

[JohnGoodenough]

She hasn't started yet.
Ran out of time. I'm sure y'all know how it goes.
On show today, and will run next week.
Then a video of first start and ride.
So right now it's just a sculpture.
Next week it's a bike...

 

[JohnGoodenough]

Pic at the show.
Lots of interest

 

[JohnGoodenough]

New pics in "sunshine"
Almost there. Will be running by next week. Maybe.....

Overall I like it, Now the but: For me the brown seat and yellow paint, clash with, not compliment each other. Just me though. Don't mean to offend.

 

[JohnGoodenough]

That's allowed
Brown grips on their way

 

[JohnGoodenough]

Has anybody here have experience with a Probe ignition?

 

[blackbetty]

Absolutely filthy....godspeed on this thing...I'm going to post up a few of your pics bc visiting the albums is a pain

 

[JohnGoodenough]

Thanks Blackbetty!!

 

[scabber]

The pictures sure helped. Well it looks good. Hope it runs good and doesn't spit those compression releases out at you. Nice build.

 

[JohnGoodenough]

Thank you Scabber.
I can only hope too

Looking forward to the startup and ride video. That exhaust should be barking like big dog. The bigger the motor the louder the exhaust. Fire it up. Nothing like that first ride.

 

[JohnGoodenough]

It's taken way longer and cost way more than I figured, but you are oh so right, Scabber!
It's about that first ride!
I won't even try and post the video cos I don't know how, and I do all this on an ipad.
Might wanna mail it to someone to post for me when the time comes. When the time comes....

 

[JohnGoodenough]

Color scheme finally decided.
Going with the black seat.
The yellow you can see was just a rattle can tester.
But that's the idea..
Will someone PLEASE move the last 3 pics from 'sunshine' to this post for me?
Thank you

 

[blackbetty]

Here ya go....looking outstanding amigo

I love this pic

 

[JohnGoodenough]

You da man, Blackbetty!
Thank you!

 

[TwoManyXS1Bs]

Fantastic! If something like that appeared on the factory showroom floor, how many of us would be all over it...

 

[JohnGoodenough]

Thank you, gentlemen!
I'm wildly excited!!
And my wife doesn't understand why.....

 

[scabber]

Both seats look good I liked the brown one. The wife might want a ride. The high exhaust pipes and mufflers look good but not a classic look. Low pipes upsweeps and P-shooters. But what do I know I liked the brown seat. Nice build.

Thank you for seeing it my way, The black seat I mean
