Coming together nicely


The FZ is coming together nicely now and we're really confident of making it to Mallory next weekend.

All my paperwork and enrty forms turned up today, leaving me with butterflies and a pounding heart...then i opened the bill for all the parts I have been buying over the past month... needless to say I was rather shocked... lucky I am busy with work to pay for it all!!


Tomorrow, or rather today as it's nearly 1.30am, should be the big day! we're hoping to get the motor fired up!

Most of the bike is complete but there is still quite a few things left to do, but even so we are hoping we should have a few days in hand in which I can get the paint work done and finnish fabricating the catch tray and side panels. I've also to sort the van, which is a right old mess at the moment.
One other thing is to strip out the drive on my wife's scooter, bloody thing. Never having had one apart before, I am going to have to wing it. I could really do without it this week and I'd rather be messing with the FZ.


A couple of people have said I should post a pic of me, so reluctantly, here you go.... :-(
