Better than new!
Well maybe not but the new seat is fantastic,
Straight legs but bent tee pieces.
In with the wheel, bash em straight against the wall, out with a block of wood and bend the discs back to shape
while we are at it.
F3 rad is fail, could have made a bracket to join up the top mount (bottom one were fine) but didn’t have time. F2 rad
got globs of chemical metal.
It Runs! (look hard and you can see the mist/smoke/condensation)
Future project? they fit quite nicely with the original fairing mounts too…
Back from the holiday, got a day and a half to fix up the Runner or right this damage to the cbr:
Looks like its gonna rain all day tomorrow aswell, probably do the Runner first but that will need running in so maybe just a quick job and slash the cbr together, was going to paint it white, seems Im outta time.
33!
Yep 33 crashes, a silver citreon xsara ran a red light at speed and nailed me. brusied me arse, aldi pants didn’t have padding right where i landed, motocross/stomping boots saved me leg (again!)
bruise developing on my elbow right now, and my right foot may not be as good as my first assessment.
front forks are not to bad, but the tee peices are shot, radiator holed, exhaust (allready crumbly) busted, rear subframe bent, and that makes the frame a write off.
To fix: hacksaw off the subframe and weld on a stubby rear end (and a rack for the pizza box) nother rad, bend front straight again, exhaust too rotten to fix so i might as well make a turbo maifold and boost it.
might get about 2500 from the MIBI, since it such a low milage example (28000 on the clock,
off another bike,)
