getting there....

[swabio]

Well,

AFter my OP crash, i have pretty much pulled my bike apart, and the only things that need replacing are.... a radiator hose, race glass, digital dash unit & the LH rear set....... It was remarkably undamaged! I pulled the forks out expecting the worst... took them in to the suspension dude, and not a thing wrong with them... so that is good news! It appears that the crash looked a hell of a lot worse than it really was! Probably evidenced by the fact i walked away from it ;)

so all i need is new race glass and the other couple of things i mentioned and it will be back onthe track....at the end of the year! I am heading overseas for 6 months as of next week... so will just order stuff while i am away, and come home to a house full of cool presents.....

Anyway, just thought I would give you guys an update... I have not been around much of late, as i have just been so busy!

Cheers :)

hey man thats good news about your bike the acc sure did look bad

[Dezerteagle]

Good to see it's going to be back! Stick with it buddy.

Love it when things look worse then they are, you aren't hurt as much later on. Alot of the time it's the other way around and it looks small but it turns into a headache!!

[Bigdog]

On ya Swabio, it's good to see that the bike isn't too bad and you will soon be getting back into it again.

[kellz]

yay the beast will be back better than ever...

so u gonna do teh home spray paint in teh tent of death again???

Nah I won't ever go down the tent of death line again! I can hire a pro spray booth for ~$100 so will do it there! Although I may just be happy with the colour in the Gel Coat..... so will see how that comes out first.... that way there will be no spraying at all ;) actually, now i think about it, I will have to spray it... to get the tank the same colour! So i will spray it in the booth and do it in 2 pack! hmmm I will have to try and get it all sorted out when i return... I will also be putting the bike back together in my spare frame & swing arm.... as that frame is polished.... and I think it will look better with green & polished frame, than the black frame....

My rims are also polished...... but I am considering painting the spokes and centre part...... as they are too hard to polish and keep clean... and leave the outer lips polished..... thoughts.....?

[kellz]

[BART]

Swabio,

Great news........... It's amazing when you look at the photo's that the damage bill wasn't a lot higher.

As Dave said............. go buy yourself a lottery ticket. :ayyy:

[swabio]

lol hey Bart, mate hope all is going well for you too mate :)

Lottery...nah all my luck has gone now ;)

[jasonbw]

well, great to see you both are getting your bikes going again so soon... not counting the 6 months... :) good to see!

[BART]

Swabio

Mate........ I'm good. Just pissed off that I can't ride. Mind you the weather ain't helping.

My parts are at the smash repairs currently getting fixed.

I have opted to get a new spray job done on the Z. It will be a new Blue Pearl Metalic in a couple of weeks.

It will be back on the road before me. But I can always look at it in the garage.

[rocketrod]

hey BART how are things with the Z and your collarbone, did you actually break it?, u werent looking the best at oran

[dilbee]

Just dont go do that again, had a lot of people worried the 1st time. haha

[jasonbw]

and Shannons wasnt one of them. :)

Seriously, hows the collarbone... yep Rocket, he did ... he's now... TITANIUM MAN

[BART]

Rod,

Mate, I'm ok. Got a plate put in and I'm just waiting for the bone to knit. Should be back on the bike in about 2 months.

Nothing worse than watching from the sidelines.

[Johnny]

Heya Swabio.

Oh have fun on your holiday too :ayyy:

My K6 rims are also polished ( along with a few other thingies :) ) but deliberatly left the spokes and centre for this ( bit more than the lip polished on mine though) very reason. Still looks good I think, your call wether to paint over it though.



It will be back on the road before me. But I can always look at it in the garage.
Trust me, that doesnt help, I have two sitting in the garage, both perfectly rideable, but a minor detail with licence and Im :2191: :mad:
