Havent been on for a while, due to plastering the front room and getting christmas out of the way. but have started plugging away on the bike again.
The images below are of the original state it was in. the frames been powder coated silver and the tank cadbury purple. i am going to be a philistine and create a streetfighter look when its finished.
on a seperate note any advice to a new biker who has been drving cars for the last ten or fiften years and cant seem to get his head around controlling a bike.
heres the links to pics

thanks for the replies - i must admit that the law does seem strange that you can ride a bike in one day ,but take months to pass a car test, even though you are at a hell of a lot more risk on a bike - that's what my missus says anyway. think she secretly doesnt want me to finish the bike. will post more up to dat pics when i have more,
cheers
