Handsome Rob

Bump please.

Up for the Friday night compulsive drinkers/impulsive buyers!

Bump please.

I know the first set of cameras you mean; the bastards sent me a 'caution' for doing 40 through the school zone (at 6pm on a Saturday) last year. EDIT I recognize where those license readers are. I think someone put them up because of the amount of drag racing that goes on on Blackburn. It's honestly ridiculous. Every single evening. I can't imaging the County would have put them up with no signage. I wonder how long the mounting screws are & if they'd work on my wifi for home security? I've got a ladder, hard hat & hi-viz vest that would allay suspicion.....

Thanks Mike!

Why can't I bump this???

Bump again please.

*Hawken Sorry. Pet hate.

How about $750 for the whole package?

I did pull back a wee bit of shiny though......

I thought I might try my hand at a 'forced patina' paint scheme this time. I'm pretty happy with it so far! With many apologies to @gregintenn again......

Back at it. Again. The bouncetail's getting a bit of a facelift. New wheels, more imposing tires, lower the front end, smaller tanks, drop the rear fender etc.....

The curvy bits are actually a breeze! Turning around in a parking lot on the other hand....... slow maneuvering really takes some muscle.

WIZARDRY!!!! I tried literally everything.

I have no clue what's going on with the photos. It doesn't matter what I do with them, the forum wants them upside down. I guess maybe do a headstand?

I had my first real ride yesterday afternoon, just 6 miles to make sure nothing fell off, seized up or exploded. The foot clutch took a little getting used to (stalled twice) & adjustment when I got home. This afternoon went much better! I'm learning to give myself more turning room at junctions, (sharp turns, long forks, high bars & an on/off switch clutch do not make for happy bedfellows) & found the best foot position for clutch slipping. I have to say, she's a lot more comfortable than I remember hardtails being & rides beautifully!

If I'm honest, I'm a little concerned about using the foot clutch. I tossed an extra plate in the stack to do away with Harley's famous self destructive spring plate & now it's a bit of an 'on-off' switch. I know for a fact I'm going to stall at every Junction for a while, so I need to avoid traffic for a bit

Hah! No. I went with P0SH1 since my other bike is kinda the ratty one. That's going back on the bench next..... I have a vision:

Thanks man, that means a lot! I've got my fingers crossed for a first ride on Sunday. It won't be far though! Literally just a couple of miles to start getting the cylinders & rings bedded in & smoothed out. If nothing falls off, i might run it again after she cools down

Okay, I read it in the wrong tone of voice! Yeah, not many anymore!

Thanks, I think?

I still need to fit the new sprockets, but she's finally all together!

I knocked these little removable luggage racks at lunchtime yesterday. They still need cleaning up & mirror polishing (ugh... stainless) butI'm happy with them so far. I got my front brake bled & working properly last night, too. All that's left is to install an offset front sprocket, spacer for the rear, bolt on the tank & she's done! Fingers crossed for a warm, sunny Sunday!

Hours ahead of you! https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1H4jx7BtRL/
