    @Calum You should take her out a few times over the next 6-7 months when the weather is good and break her in properly, so come next spring she'll be raring to go for max RPM. 😉

    @NINJA It's not road legal yet. I haven't got it road registered.

        @NINJA No, the place where I live has plenty of private land to test on. I guess I didn't ask the land owner's permission but it was literally 2 minutes of riding.

          @NINJA I would be buzzing, but landlords have request the bike be removed from the garage, which means if I'm lucky, it'll end up along side my DT. Better than selling it, but would mean I wouldn't be able to finish it off!!!

              There is a pun here somewhere, like I think they call that rape, I'm just annoyed I gotta move.

              @NINJA No theyjust need the garage to perform renovations.

                  @NINJA I still live at home. 25 and still with the old dear like. To be fair, my mum is sound about it. But my Step-Dad is very keen on DIY and needs the garage. It's fair, I get that. I did build most of it in the bedroom to be fair. #NotImpressed lol.

                    @Calum There's nothing wrong with any of that dude, there seem's to be a stigma attached to living with your parents these day's. There's nothing wrong with it at all, just society being the usual PITA. I moved out when I was 21 and bought my own house and GEEEEEEEEZZZZZZZZZZZ that was wayyyyyyyy back in 1989 - DAMN old git me. But hey I now live mortgage free so I guess it has it's bonuses??? :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

                          @NINJA I want that little tray underneath it. You get a free bike cover for it, and seeing as it's going into storage...that's also handy.

                            Rode the bike into storage today. Was about a 5 mile ride. Aww wow. It's so sweet. Didn't open it up, fresh engine and all. But just around the 6K mark you can just hear the solenoid start to open and the power starts rushing in. It rides SOOO smooth. The hydraulic clutch actuation is superb. This bike was well worth waiting to complete before riding it.

                            Shame it's going to be in storage for such a long time now 😞

                            Oh well, onwards and upwards to the next project.

                                      @oldman Definitely ain't no 4 stroke. It'll be years yet till the next bike as I got to start saving.
