G'day Lads

got pissed with the missus on a mexican night out and woke up in the morning and found out had bought a new toy the night before but not a lot of recollection of that happening (tequila has some worrysome effects - bike was not rego'd or even in WA) - needless to say she now has beer credits in her favour

this is it after Mozza and Rocket helped get her to licensing stage - had to shorten the yoshi a fair bit due to previous damage n not really suitable for going over the pits

since licensing, fitted a nikko racing hi mount zorst (cheers Burnsy for playing postman from the States), PCIII, Factory Pro Velocity Stacks, TRE, +2 rear sprocket, fender eliminator, BXP reservoirs, ABM top yoke n drag bars, radguards

Got an MT03 headlight to go on once I sort out the bracketry side of things but will ride her fully clothed in the meantime as got to get back to work on the 7/11 which has sat idle for too long now - the gixxa1000 has got a few more horses on tap than the trumpy - allegedly gets around to the double ton fairly quickly :D

know the new zorst looks longer than the tail but in the daylight actually finishes just short of the tail - angles are deceiving

Had some interestin talks with the other half as to how many asses I've grown considering she only sees one and there are 3 bikes in the shed [B)]

shows how much I know about bikes with fairings - I had no idea it was a busa top half as that was how it came

Moz - yes very grateful for the Amazing Amanda and luckily for my nuts the bike at least ran when it turned up

Trudes would of been smashing em with bricks if I had of said 'oh by the way, I spent your holiday money and it needs a motor as well'

actually just had a closer look, it is the light playing tricks, thats a gixxer fairing. the busa was similar but had an indicator in the duct section and was slightly curvier.
