Well you don't have to twist my arm too much.  I suppose I'll join in.  And Tipper, I'm here for good!

Alright, I'll accept!

I'll have to try and get some better photos though. Hard because I'm currently not in the same country as my bike.

Here's a link to by build in case someone wants to burn a few hours following my saga. Its incredible looking back at that. The bike I started with, no experience at all... I can't believe I'm where I'm at now two years later. I owe a lot of it to SOHC4.net.



An iphone photo whilst trying to bleed the front brake.





The other side with sidecovers off, no kickstarter and the seat yet to be upholstered.

Thanks again guys,
Rick.

That is my boy.  He is wearing a Spiderman mask, a chinese hat with the braided hair and sunglasses.

Oh, too late, I have lost all my hair!  Well, almost.  I still have my Bin Laden!

The bike can be nominated.  I checked the last three years and the bike has not won BOTM. 

Love it!  Another 400-4!
