Now thats funny banshee. We close on another house the end of next month so I'm trying to get to a point where I won't loose my place when I come back. Were taking on a big one with this house so the bike is going to get less attention but such is the hobby life. I'll try and get some pics up this weekend.

I hate to ask but has anyone heard from porchev914, I can't get ahold of him, been over a month and I'm a little concerned to say the least. I'm hoping nothing has happened to him. If anyone knows him or how to get a hold of him, please have him get in touch with me.
Thanks

Here is an update on the bike progress, There hasn't been any. Got quotes in for new pole barn, got the new 400 amp meter base and 2 200 amp sub panels in and inspected ready for my electrical supplier to trench to. I'm almost ready for winter to be here so I can work on the bike again. We have allready accepted that we are not going to be in the new home before winter so we have decided to stay at the old one, and so is my shop :woohoo:
I have been checking in more often lately just to get a fix of nice bike builds but I'm walking by mine almost daily and it's wearing on me.
Also been seeing some Z1R's crawling out from under some covers and it's a good site to see, they are not being parted out for e-bay. Just wish I had some progress to show you guys but it isn't happening right now.

Don't worry Les. You gotta keep those priorities in line. That sweet bike will come along in time.
Did Adam ever get in touch with you? I can try and e-mail him for you if you need. Lemme know what's up.

Come spring I can do it, new house is 5 bedroom victorian built in 1893. I know the bike will get done but it's frustrating having to put it off being so close.
Thanks for the encouragement!

Let it be known, the new house is closed up for the winter, were done till spring. We are ready for drywall but decided to wait till spring, didn't want to hang 7,000 square ft. of drywall then have to pay a heat bill for the winter. What I'm saying is, "I'm BACK"
I have a couple customer jobs to do on the frame jig before the bike goes back on but that shouldn't take long.
I'll get pics a flying just as soon as they get taken. I'm so ready to do something I want to do instead of have to do.
First thing is to finish up the turbo piping and get it off for ceramic coating and the turbo back to the builder for the dynamic seal. I did manage to rough out a new top tree with some design changes this summer which will be soon on the agenda. Dang, I'm almost as giddy as a little school girl with just knowing I'm almost free to work on the bike again.
