Looks cool. You still need a better camera though ( a less blurry one) Razz . Where is the seat? are you getting it re-covered or something?
Must be just about finished now or is there more stuff to add?

Yeah the camera is a bit naff, it makes the bike look more Blue than anything!!

The seat is getting re-covered with either blue Leather or Blue suede not sure which one yet.

There are a few things left to do like I have to get the rear brake lever straightened, the footpegs need to be raised a bit because they didnt really fit the original holders, I need to get a bolt that snapped off on one of the engine cases taken out and replaced and finally some new fork seals are gonna have to be put in.

But after that it will be as good as new.

Cant wait to ride the thing though, I have had it over a year now and have probably only done 10 miles on it. ( and that was getting it home form the sellers place!!!)

Mike.

Good to see it in (almost) one piece. But as Stew said, try to find a better camera, or just make sure that it isn't stuck in "nostalgic 1980s mode". Smile

Well I may be using it wrong, (probably as the thing came with no instructions!!!)

But on the display it says high and low and then there are 3 levels of each.

I presume this is high or low resolution which means the higher it is the better the quality??? I usually have it on the highest and it usually the higher the res the less photos you can take as they take up more memory??

Or its probably just a shit camera. Very Happy Very Happy Very Happy

Mike.

What about blue fur? That would stand out - just take care not to ignite it. Razz

Yeah, that's where something called a licence will come in useful. Wink
