Remember to let the paint harden before clearing it or the paint will bleed through

Thanks mate, I had to reshape the foam and add some at the front to level it up as the subframe is jacked up, at least something looks good on it

Thanks mate, oh it'll get dirty alright!

the seat looks really good

I'm slowly taking mine to bits, keeps me off the slippery roads and stops getting the thing covered in salt.
Plans are to give it a good full service and send the forks off to get Roger'd. Depending on how much I take off it 'may' get a satin black frame too...

Ducati engine turns over................and there's a spark!!!

Nice now give it a wash

I took mine for a quick blast today, first time its gone anywhere for about 6 weeks.

when I got out of town and got a little warmth in the tyres it was fun but you can see why its more of a summer thing.

greasy roads , low sun and it took me about 20 minutes to get my gear on !! . knackered

Yep these roads ain't no fun ,
I was going around a roundabout and lost the front ,managed to save it .
then went into a two wheel slide and saved that too !
That wet track day really heightened my feel for when the tyres start to slide and I believe had I not done that wet track day I'd be posting a "I binned it thread"!

Fitted some R&G's.....So bloody big, like a couple of bog rolls sticking out the sides !!

Oooooh you old modder you!!!!
