You can work on any thing in the lounge room. My uncle built a sailing boat in his lounge room because his wife wanted to see him. She could not spend time with him with him building it in his garage. Once it was built they knocked down the front of the house to get the boat out.
They dont make women like that any more.

lol...
sounds like the guy from top gear who built a car in his kitchen...
They had to knock down the wall to get the car out... the wife on the other hand "fitted quite nicely through the door and was gone quite early in the piece"
Back on Topic
Nice bike, looking forward to see what you do with it!

Well the bike finally has Rego
Today is such a nice a day i decided to go for a quick ride (tad under 100ks)
small knock in the front end but thats the suspension and i have the seals to fix it
couple of pics i took
At the moment she is staying stock (well it already has a aftermarket exhaust from previous owner) the only things i have done is Luggage Net, LED numberplate Bolts and got a Magnetic tank bag coming
