G'day All, a quick update today.
About a week after my last post, my wife had a bit of a fall and injured her back - three herniated discs to be exact. Bike went onto the back burner while helping her recuperate.
She spent 4 weeks in hospital and has just started on recuperative physiotherapy ....
Well, today was the first weekend that i had free and she was ok with the kids - so i worked my Bum off ....
Fabricated a bracket to mount the indicators / taillight
Repaired about a million problems with the wiring loom
Fitted and bled the brakes (That rear one is a bitch to get started ...)
Fitted up the muffler (eeeew necessary at the moment - this thing is LOUD - will be replacing at first opportunity - maybe home-made baffle in the pipe instead)
sorted a heap of little issues.
And the result is that I took it for its first ride under its own power for over 15 years !
Some more tidying next weekend, then its time for the plates and registration !! WOO!
Will update again soon.
