XS650 build off and wrap up party?

So who am I up against in the pic/video class?!

Its too bad i live on the other side of north america, or I would for sure be riding the bike down.

But that doesn't mean a little friendly long distance competition wont hurt!

Yep I want in.
It would have to be the video. as your choice for the ride, if it is near your home town Ada, Ohio is 1200 miles from my home.
But I may have to disqualify myself if I can't restrain from building."but I don't have a problem with that if You don't"
I will start with disassembly and engine work if that Okay.

This is going to be so much fun! OOOOee!

And to anyone who doesnt think they have time.. Im starting 3 months later then everyone else as ill be in indonesia for the first couple months, going to full time school (fab school no less!) , and working 35+ hours a week.. But that doesn't phase me! Ill be broke as hell, busy as hell, building my xs all to hell!
 
I'm in as well...I've started my build prior to this...but only to get it running....nothing has been fabricated yet and I'm holding off on that until November. Hoping to get the bike actually running on the road before then so I can work out any mechanical kinks.
 
so where up to 5 in rider and 3 video this is who's in as of rite now.

lol woot long haul award!!!....seriously though this is my first venture into a custom bike...or actually working on one at all...I'm still looking for parts...if anyone has a lead on a xs750 tank I would greatly appreciate someone helping me out =D.

Found some on ebay...but I would rather go through one of the forum guys as I have had some bad experiences with ebay in the past.
