Just a blast up the fell the other night. Need to get it MOTd so maybe a few more trial runs this weekend. I'll try and borrow a GoPro

 

[Airwolfie]

Sweet! Lucky man!

 

[Paulrxs650]

That is if the weather holds! How's yours coming along?

I agree with Airwolfie. A vid would be great. Daylight fresh air sweet looking bike life is good. Time to ride. Great picture of the bike. Top shelf build all the way.

 

[Paulrxs650]

Thanks Scabber! Here's to summer!

Yeah!!

Mine is getting there! Just got my tires fitted this week, but unfortunately I will have to retouch the wheels! Thinking also of painting the tank.

Still waiting for my mate to come weld my steering stop and exhaust mounts on for me, then I can see if she actually runs!!

Then brakes and front mudguard and wiring and then I THINK she's done!

 

[Paulrxs650]

Sounds like good progress - Well done

 

[Paulrxs650]

I got the seat back this week and a few more miles on

Thanks Airwolfie! Yep I'm pretty pleased with it

Been out and about riding today - 100 miles done already. Some adjustments made to the usuals - chain, cam chain, valves, slight oil weep from the top banjo oil feed pipe bolt - nipped up, but all in all good fun - Bloody cold though

Bit of a better pic today

 

[Johnt3]

Man, I like that bike Paul! Glad to hear you got a chance to get some more miles on her.
