Duffy's Streetfighter Project

[lloydie]

What are you waiting for Duffy ?

[Duffy1964]

I have DIY / decorating to do it's been ongoing for 2 years now but the storms have been a good distraction. I need to finish my bedroom upstairs now it's been plastered and will work indoors while it's cold and in the man cave when it's warmer and I have made some space.

House is full of nice clean & painted storm parts ready for the build though

[lloydie]

Got a busy time ahead

Hi Lloydie, had a tough time since new year as my Girlfriends mum collapsed and was taken to hospital, only to find she had days to live due to Cancer, and sadly passed away, so priority's changed for a while.

I have had the plastics and tank sprayed in primer, but I plan to sell the winter hack in the spring as I have not ridden it and that will give me space in the Mancave

Also halfway through on my decorating, I have been looking on ebay to see if I can buy a load more time as I keep running out of it at the moment

Hopefully when the rain stops I will get some enthusiasm to kick start the project again matey

I have had the same with my best friends 80 odd nan passing away from throat Cancer. Surprised she made it through Christmas TBH. Got the funeral to go to on Wednesday.

Oh I so know that feeling. At least you have a garage.

Thanks Lloydie, and sorry to hear about your Aunty.

You ain't messed up fella I usually throw myself into work or projects, but didn't find the time this time as needed to get back to work.

I find projects therapeutic after a loss or life drama, it helps my thought process somehow, hard to explain.

Anyway enough of that emotional shite, get back in the garage

We all deal with things differentially. It comes to us all eventually.

Duffy how's the parts collection coming together for the old Brit bike? I would like to see that restored.

So would I Carl, I will start that when I finish the streetfighter, all stored in the loft at the moment

It will be fun playing with a two stroke again.

Loving the paint and the 954 front end plan!

Just started fightering mine. headlight was meant to come 2 days ago! (not happy with motocross world!)

ordered CNC yoke, fitting my braided lines this weekend

fightering because I bought a bargain of parts (1 full bike and 1 half bike for £200 total) and I just dont seem to be enjoying clip ons after my supermoto previous bikes so wide bars and no fairings for me!

Interested to see where this build goes!
