There's rarely a good place to break down, but that sounds particularly crap! Lucky you didn't take a dive down the ditch 8O

I have been thinking about the R6 tail, esp since seeing this! ImageImage

Finished dialing in the carbs for the new (to me) exhaust system

Ended up all I needed was 1\4 turn in on the pilots...... another place of making her breath better and she wants less fuel..... :crazy:

But the front end comes up rel quick now...... :angel:

Jamie came over we compared body's & decided all was good so swapped clothes.






























Hang on let me re-phrase that...


Jamie came over today. He brought with him his Silver bodywork & tank with the view of swapping it all over for the black body work currently gracing Dresden, subject to both parties being happy with the swap.

A deal has been done, Dresden has another new set of clothes... :lol: :lol:

You know full well Mac that you are excluded from the Brotherhood of Blueness due to the fact you have litlle or no taste, as evidenced by the crash helmet, and are unable to move in a natural manner in the majority of your joints! Sad but true!!!! :lol:

Thanks for agreeing to swap clothes Mac :thumbup:

My bike looks like it wants to "party long time" now, oooh yeah baby! Image

Thanks for the coffee & Macroll
:) :) :) :) :)

I'd like a few more details about your raised seat too, when you have the time :thumbup:

Oh and don't forget, when in doubt make sure you go over things with a fine tooth comb! :lol: :crazy: :lol:

Nice one Jamie, you got that built quick !

I assume it was at the expense of family commitments, you'll never get into the will if you don't go to see her.
