[Damien BonoraMember]

Now the suspenders are done she’ is gonna be a single track weapon :laugh: :laugh:

Will be home between 9 and 11.30, after that going down to the property to do a few jobs so its ready for the the anniversary weekend.
Will be back sometime Sunday arvo, hopefully around 3, plan on putting the suspenders back in then

You better be careful TR,,,
The King may declare that the Royal Steed (which is transfroming in a Stallion) be returned at this rate :laugh:

Nice work and no expense spared by the looks of it so far :whistle:
Will be good to see it perform in a few weeks time…

Hi TR, I can personally confirm that that bike didn’t miss a beat on the recent big ride. A few shiny bolt ons and she will be good for years to come.

And the beauty is you can charge a fee to pull 4WD’s and tractors out of mud holes when your not adventure riding :laugh: :laugh:

Its true, thats how they got this out :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

It will be good to catch up in august mate, the bike looks like its coming along nicely

Yeh cant wait for August mate, its getting there slowly.
I will order an Arai helmet, some ADV pants, and some Asterisk knee guards tomorrow
Hopefully have the damper before the end of the week and I might be able to actually take it for a ride by the end of next weekend

I haven’t ridden it yet, didn’t even go round the royal grounds before I picked it up, just loaded it up and got it home :blink: :blink:

Its not finished, I need to adjust the headlight :laugh:
Will do so tonight and post pics of the finished beast.
Suspension is done and in, sag adjusted.
Everything is fitted now and working.
GPS mounted and wired in, I set the spot up and it appears to be working ok.
I was thinking of taking it up to glenbrook for a quick squirt in the national park on the weekend so I dont show up to wauchope without even riding it :whistle: , havent even been around the block yet

[GregMember]

Can you sneak out for a ride next Wed (insert sneaky grin here) we can run it though its paces :laugh: Or come for a ride up home one arvo (Blaxland) will give you a beer while I check it out

TB

[Damien BonoraMember]

Sorry mate, can’t make Wednesday.
Even the arvo’s are a bit tight with kids sport training etc. will see how I go. :S
If you are down this way either Monday night (this one or next) you could call in or I will be up there this weekend though I guess you are probably pre running.

So as promised the headlight is now adjusted and its all but ready for my first nav ride.
I just need to do an oil change during the week, put the bash plate back on and we are set for a small weekend test ride :whistle:

The front………

The back………..

The cockpit………

I even took it for a quick run around the block to check the headlight adjustment :whistle:
and it goes better than I thought it would!!
When i got back I did spray half a bottle of brake clean on the rear brake, not sure if this is the usual reaction after riding one of these for the first time? :laugh: :laugh:

Will let you know on the weekend how it feels. Got to make sure that I am happy with the knee guards, pants, amour/neck brace/ jacket setup

[usiMember]

What magical bonding agent are you using to hold the plate on ?

[Damien BonoraMember]

Hey Usi,
the royal maintenance man had it held on with 2 screws in the top 2 holes, they are hard to see in the pic but they are still there

[GregMember]

Hey mate thats looking the goods great Job.

One question got a spare OBT sticker like that one on the front, I never got one

TB

[Damien BonoraMember]

Hey TB
I have a spare OBT sticker if you want it, I’ll bring it to the nav ride if I don’t see you before it.
