tyggerjaiSo much stuff to organise!
Ok. Work continues to be the major bugbear, but:
1) Fire twirling. We have a park down the road from our place, I'll check it out next time I ride past to see if there are concrety, or at least green grassy patches for twirling. Thursday night? Wednesday nights?
2) Scoot Wrenching Some Sunday. Need to co-ordinate a little with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
drwally and get firm RSVPs this time.
I can be a conduit for the first, but not so much the second if we're using my shed and tools.
In other news, getting the Spada back on the road and driving a lot at work has inspired me - I actually quite like driving, and I'm not as bad asspark_au likes to make out, once I'm back up to speed (as it were) with gears, and traffic :) But I have absoutely nowhere to put a car, nor can I really afford one at the moment. Nor would I drive it, for any practical purpose. On the bright side, I think owning a 5 litre V8 would annoy a lot of my hippy friends .... But I think I need to build a chopper for bunnikins to ride once she gets off the license restrictions. I think she's a cruiser kind of girl, if only so her feet can touch the ground. If you know anyone looking to sell a relatively decent V-twin engine from a mid-sized japanese bike from the last 20 years, let me know, eh?

Date: 2006-01-02 03:38 am (UTC)There's no point paying "registered, RWC" prices for a frame I'm going to throw away. What I suspect I'll do is buy a bike with a totalled front end, for the engine and running gear, and get a custom frame with forks, or possibly pick up forks & front brake gear seperately.
Which will hopefully be cheaper than buying an entire bike.
The real question is, of course, what is your bike? Bearing in mind that I have a totally irrational prejudice against kawasakis ....

Spada, $400, looks like an ex stunt bike. Seriously considering it although RWC would probably be a pain.
