Enough tomfoolery...... This is serious! I've made some discoveries, in the last few weeks. Number one....You should never undo the inlet hose to the oil cooler, and walk off. So much oil. So much mess.... Secondly....You should never EVER pretend that you're doing one thing, when you know you're going to do the complete opposite. As i've pulled the old girl down, i've been taking notes....making simple drawings....measuring stuffs. I'm sure that onlookers would be horrified to know, and see, that the entire bike is in boxes, and completely disorganized. There's literally just a pile of crap in the middle of the shed. And that particular pile of crap is mixed in with other piles of crap. I'm not fussed, as I know where everything goes. There's only two places for it all to go, in fact. The bin, or E Bay..... If you've been having a look at my posts, and are interested, please keep on looking. I'm a week away from starting the rebuild. I can assure you that you'll see things that you've never thought possible from an average guy. Some of my plans and modifications may even spur you on to do something similar. I'm no rocket scientist, but I have a firm mechanical and engineering background, can fibreglass, vacuum mold, pattern make, and majored in industrial design. I'm already seeing this project as a finished bike. I like what I see in my minds eye. When it's done, it may not be your cup of tea....But i'm sure you'll look at it, and see that it's a better VFR than it's maker had ever reckoned on. Oh....The bike in the picture? It's my Sons FZR 250. A warm up, for the real deal.......
