Seriously, I really should take the time out to thanks the people who have helped a mechanically reatrded person like myself get a bike (almost) on the road.
- Desmo: for purchasing advice, use of his shed in the early days before Cilla found out
, and lots of mechanical help, including tricky jobs like reattaching the kickstart. I started with a race pressed bike, and crates full of random bits. Jim helped sort out what I had and what I needed, and made a great drinking buddy as well.
- Captain Starfish: for having the right tools, and being generous enough for me to be able to borrow them
- Dingo: trailer usage, and for making my life hell when Cilla did find out
- Rocket: more trailering, sorry about the rear wheel strap!
- RGVlee: technical advice
- Lee: for the front stand
- Cilla: for eventually getting over it, and putting up with random bike bits everywhere
- Flyboy: for helping to put it all together, getting out of bed at 2am to fabricate parts
, and general all-round awesomeness
- Luciecat: for showing patience that I don't have. I couldn't sit there for hours slowly rubbing sticker residue off a vinyl seat, or sorting out a whole wiring harness. Plus you helped me massively when it all went pear shaped, offering lifts, picking up trailers and just being fantastic
- Laika: for all those little cosmetic parts I needed.
Here are a few more pics:
This is where I started once I pulled off the raceglass...
Has there ever been a sexier man?
I don't know who gave the escaped mental patient a power tool, but he looks happy.
Almost there!
It lives!
