Day 3.

Spent the day making sure all the bolts were tight, carbies and air box back on, exhaust back on.
New spark plugs, as i went i put some oil into each cylinder and turned the engine by hand, all felt good.

Cleaned up most of my mess i had created over the past few days, feel pretty good.

Time for a beer

Here is how she is at the moment

Great job. Don't these bikes look like a shaved dog without their plastics?

Shadow - Goju Ryu Karate and my Sensei is female, i teach kids

Day 4

Re filled with oil, petrol tank back on just could not help myself. Turned the key hit the starter, took all of 3 attempts and away she went.
Had to shut her down because i still hace the cooling system to connect, am waiting on a couple of "O" ring's for where it connects into the head.

Now will have to wait until next Sunday for any more work, back to work for me this week and a karate grading next saturday

Can you see the smile on my face from where you are?

Very rewarding Shadow, i have 3 students who started out as 8 year olds stepping up for black belt this year. I have watched them grow, mature and become outstanding young adults.
