RD progress


Buttoned up the RD motor on sunday evening. Carbs are on to. Just have to paint the side covers and this shit is going back in the frame...

Dream Bike....


Saw this in the back of a truck on the way out from the swap. Parked right next to us. Mocking me.
Keep your pans, keep your knucks, Pass on the shovels. I want a triple 2....

Slightly further...


Got the welds sorted out on the sissy. Got that mounted and drilled the fender for the p-pad. I also got my rubber on, but haven't got around to getting the tires on the bike. The swap took up my sunday...

Spotted....




Spotted this local gem sitting outside the Canadian tire....Nice.

Framed....




Frame finally got prepped for painting. Went and got a nice coat of gloss black last night...
All ready to be put back together and ready to roll....

Treat ur lady right....






One of east vans greatest features may be that it recycles itself. The amount of older asian ladies that collect cans is astounding. This lady looks after our cans.
She comes in, takes the cans, tears down the boxes and gets rid of our trash.

Her wheel was pooched so we got to fixing it for her. Besides its not like we are going to take back our own empties any time soon....

Statutory Grape....






Got my tins done, showed Ty. He seemed pretty stoked on the whole idea....

sneek peek....






Well seems like everything is sorted for the mock up. Ripped the whole thing down for paint and finish welding. Currently the tins are drying, and all the little bits that needed to black are now black.
A little moulding on the neck, and some frame paint, and the little nightmare will be thrown back together and wired up for some summer mayhem...
