:-D

you got it wrong it is because off all those things that I vote for it.
A proper bike, one that has been ridden rain or no will have a few zip ties(I have about 40)some damage that did not NEED to be fixed,and so on.
Just look at this collection of parts. As the nice red bits got smashed,well black is easy to match so rattle can black it is .Give me a forged front wheel ment for another bike over a new paint job any day.

Bikes should be ridden and fiddled with, not polished all weekend.Well deserved win:cheers:

And BTW some of how my heap looks IS Northwinds fault as he helped me pick some of the bits and sort a problem or two.
