London Newbie.
« on: December 04, 2009, 10:10:08 AM »
Hello everyone.

Jim here, based in london E17

doing a cb550 k3 cafe racer project.









Just finished a gixer fighter but was lured by the honda dark side to build a fookin cool racer of which she will be named waterworld in homage to the terrible Kevin Costner film which just ate money.  ;D

I will probably need stupid amounts of help and answers to many stupid questions for which i apologize for know.

I like beer and cakes.

Super.
 ;)

Hello Capt!

I've seen that bike before (has it been on eBay??)

When post pics from Photobucket, paste the "Direct Link" script into the "Insert Image" tags (that's the little picture icon above when editing). That way you get the full sized picture (actually, forum pics are fixed to 600 wide unless you tell otherwise)

I've edited the first one to show.
