    LOL, it was a tight squeeze for sure, i turned up at the guys house to pick it up get out and go see it, he says calmly "errrm wheres your trailer? have you got a folding one" i replied, nope its all going in there. and when it was in. "wow cant believe it went in". Was very funny!. Yep stacey and pete. Shoudlnt be long until im ready to rock n roll in wales just got some things to sort, like the brakes i know you exsperienced guys dont need them but im used to a 70 . Do they still sell plastics at the dealer in the UK and how much will they be? and will i get pads from them?

    Got the pads now pete, i paid a fair bit tho but i know they will last £16 and a got a new plug. I had a dodgy coil ht lead but i will be trying to repair it if possible, other than that shes running nicely now just gotta get some grips, levers and fit those pads and make the rear brakes work and another 25 jobs lol and it should be ready for riding.

    Ive decided while im learning to ride her that im just gonna fiberglas on the back on the mudguard to hold the cracks together, im bound to have a spill sometime and it would really pi55 me off if i rolled it onto some £220 mudguards but once i got it mastered i will be making her look prettyer i wont be able to do too muhc work this weekend as school has dumped a LOAD of work on my in for monday but ill try and get some photos and the brakes, coil, and fiberglassed mudguards sorted.

    Hey Will is there peaces missing out the fender??? or is it just cracked?? if it's cracked drill holes either side of the crack and then zip tie it together....much better than fibre glass, and stronger too.....

    Theres a small bit missing about an inch by two, i thought if i did the glassing on the back would look a bit better, but now i think of it i do have some yellow zip ties I think i should really be putting the brake ahead of the plastics but ohh well!
