Dear diary: not much to do but wait for arrival of them Texas pipes, been much of a week of reflection but got past all that now so onward and upward.
I was watching a 650 on Trade-me for a few weeks just to see how much it sold for, some local guy added to the question section mentioning that he had one for parts, not what I wanted to hear when I had just sent half way around the world and spent twice as much asthe pipes cost in freight charges but....
Anyhow the guy still has it, no one else enquired about the parts bike and it turns out it is another ex Police CB650PZ with a very nice professionally rebuilt motor, owner tells me the rest of the bike is very sad with bits from other makes attached.
Anyhow it's got me dreaming of another project, maybe a chopper or bobber, something Jaffa could ride easily.
We'll see, he's sending me pictures shortly.
Put my bike's tank back on and added gas just to run it this week, Jaffa rode it around the back yard getting stuck in every corner of the section ha ha........she better stick to her scooter for a while.
