Paul! She looks awesome man! That's a good looking blue you went with.
The chrome came out nice. That's the first I've seen of the seat done, it looks nice and comfy.
12 miles of riding should get you some idea of how she runs.
Good for you Paul! Well done my friend!

Mate You have a mighty fine ride there!
She sure is beautiful.
We is happy for You!

Hi John, Hi Carbon, thank you very much for your very kind comments!,, I am pleased with the way she has turned out! Very pleased. A lot of hours but I think well worth the effort. I can safely say that every nut and bolt has been checked and polished (what a sad man )
John, you'll not be far off my good friend !

Verey nice Paul like the blue

 

[Paulrxs650]

Thanks Sub!

Paul, that is stunning.
That is my favorite shade of blue, electric.
And I believe you're running a .... ??? ... Front Filter ?
Congrats.

 

[Paulrxs650]

Hi,

Thanks Two Many, are you referring to my front mudguard?

 

[TwoManyXS1Bs]

Yes, mudfilt... er mudguard. Sorry, my british is a but rusty.

 

[Paulrxs650]

Lol! Yes, I laminated a front mudguard and it is painted up too. However, I came up with that idea after wanting the front end to be minimalistic, yet satisfy (or try) the UK requirements for a front mudguard. I quite like the style of it and I may just keep on for now
I think its just a bit different

 

[Johnt3]

Well hell, are you riding your bike too much to socialize with use low life's or what?

 

[I am Carbon]

might be off on holiday John

 

[Johnt3]

Oh yeah, forgot all about that Carbon. Thanks.

Hi Guys

Carbon your're right! Just been diving, saw a white tip shark, manta ray and a BF Turtle
In Egypt having fun in the sun. I have been planning my return to the bike though. Jets and graphics should be waiting for me when Im back. Just seen BBC World news and the weather in Kansas looks interesting. I hope you are OK John

 

[scabber]

Great job start to finish. Fine craftsmanship shows in your build, show quality. Like the Blue paint. Well done mate. Really enjoyed watching the build thanks for showing.

 

[I am Carbon]

Hey Paul
diving is cool I haven't been in years.
How are You getting treated in Egypt?
I all ways wanted to go.
Well have a good time

 

[deluxerux]

The bike looks awesome. Nice work.

 

[Johnt3]

Hey Paul! You lucky bastard. I hope your vacation is going great. Do some diving for me man.
Yeah, we're doing fine. It just snowed today! It'll be in the 70's by Saturday and low 80's Sunday though.

 

[Paulrxs650]

Hi Guys

Scabber, thank you for the very nice comments!

Carbon, it's great here. Always get treat very well. I speak Arabic too so that helps and I used to work over this area. People are really nice and friendly. We are Sinai, technically the Middle East and away from the political hotspots like Cairo, Port Said and Alexandria. Must be about the 20th time I've been out here

John, I will do a dive for you! I was lucky enough to swim with 2 Giant Manta today! Very cool!

 

[I am Carbon]

Mantas are very cool.
we have them here too.
speaking the language is a + for sure in getting a good reception by the locals.
have fun Mate

 

[Paulrxs650]

You're so lucky having them so close! We have seals and cold things where I live!! Yeah it does help speaking the lingo! Will do mate. Back in the shed before long!
