It's not much, but.....
OK so I can't indulge in the ride-out here, go for a blat there, meet up on this day, but....
got my own baby feel good today, Brother went out and started the beast today, started first stab of the button, he videoed it for me, only 4 minutes, but I've played it about ten times already  Hey it's not much, but all I have for now. Cheers Mark.

Reminds me of when you phoned me whilst I was at work and started Bucket for the first time after my accident. Got so excited just to hear it running again. I know how it must have felt for you.
 Every day that passes is a day closer to riding it again. Hang in there.

New engine (really is a monster, hand built 152BHP).  painted frame fettled throttle bodies new injectors new fuel pump new complete loom new alarm system new swingarm bushes lower mileage rear shock (78,000 miler, replaced by a 9,000 mile one) custom built Maxton front shocks new fairing all plastics replaced new rear light new indicators belly pan added trimmed hugger caustic internally cleaned exhaust (full system including headers) added running lights (LED's) Enameled rebuilt front calipers (rear also rebuilt) new fork guards seat hump added custom seat cover Although I've got to finish the body/ work (pinstriping/ decals/ clear coat), and build it back up, it's going to be pretty much a new bike. Cheers Mark.
