Probably finished?

After spending far too much on it according to the wife, the bike is just about where I want it. That is, I could ride it if it wasn't for the virus. For the sake of my marriage I've decided to compromise on keeping it absolutely stock as there will always be something wrong; like the chrome edging around the tank doing nothing useful and costing more than it's worth. Mine has gone brittle and a bit has broken off so if I can work out something else to replace that with I will. I don't want to get the tank resprayed 'cos I like the strange shades of colours showing through and it would also mean getting the side panels done as well. :)

Laverda Dave:
Looking great Bob, you should be pleased with the finished result  :)
Never tell the wife, or yourself what you have spent on a bike, destroy all paperwork relating to any bills etc (or hide them in the loft!). Unless of course you intend to sell it straight away (and you'll never get your money back!!!).

bobv7:
Thanks Dave, found out a long time ago that the way to make a small fortune selling bikes is to start off with a large one!

Think I'd better keep this one. ;)

Nurse Julie:
Looks great.

Thanks Julie, even goes quite well after I found out that a 180 degree bend in the fuel line turns it into a 250! Well, I had to pop down to the shop for milk, didn't I? ::)
