You've GOT to get some pics of that bike in the sun light.
Will it be ready to ride for the next Breakfast meeting? Maybe mid August?

Thanks everyone. I used what ever I could use from the crashed bike on this one that I could. It's been almost 4 years since the wreck back in Sept. 03 and this is the longest I've gone without riding it since 77 and It's killing me. I really miss riding even though I got busted up so bad the last time I rode it.

The fairing I found on eBay doing a search for " headlight fairing " here's one like I have for my Eddie paint job.

Mark,
Thanks for the tip on the fairing. I'm going to try to pick it up...as long as somebody here doesn't want it worse...all's fair in love and war, eh!

Hope you get back on your bike, soon!!!

Thanks for the advice! You wouldn't know who manufactures them would you? I have a friend who has a shop and I could cut the middle man out if I could set him up on a dealer account.

Mark,

You have once again created a work of art. You really do need to post up some hi def pictures in brighter light. It would be great to see that in poster size, on my wall.

You should also send some pictures and the whole crash and resurrection story to one of the bike mags. It is an article that I would truly enjoy reading. You deserve to have that bike published.

How are your hands and forearms working for you? I hope you won't be experiencing too much pain once you start riding regularly.
