There is too much competition on these pages so if I get a result half as good I will be pleased.
Ex NSW police bike. Only had 40k on it when I purchased it about 15 years ago. As you can see from the picture it still looked fairly policey.
It originally had two blue reflectors on the crash bars and I still have the blue light for the back (not sure if that is legal or not? If not, pretend I didn't say that).
On more than one occasion toll collectors tried to wave me through without paying and cars would suddenly brake in front of me when I came up behind them.
So after sitting idly for 10 years I have started.
Step forward to two days ago and I think you will agree she doesn't look quite the same
The old engine might just become a coffee table.
And a few tools
And a fairing that I hope will stay on top of the shelf. The shelf just above the tank is the 'clean' shelf. I think I still have a lot to do. The old engine on its end is from a donor bike, as is the frame. The engine has come in very handy when checking the best cleaning method for some parts. I just wish I had drained more oil out of it before up-ending it
Some more organised storage
A clean garage is the sign of a sick mind. That's your frame there Saxon7
Keeping the dirt out
Thats it. Engine off to the shop on Thursday to get the cross threaded plug fixed. Frame off to the stippers. Lots of cold nights with steel wool and sunlight soap ahead. Maybe I can fill the tankard with bourbon to ward off the chill.
