I'll get it when Mal is ready to release the beast.
I think he wants a bit of a ride first.....for medicinal purposes :-)

Can I vote now? Xtian #1.
Seriously, that motor looks like it came from the factory, and the frame looks likewise, so when all the other bits get stuck on, it'll be hard to beat. When are you looking to pick up your ride, Xtian? Are you going to take the long way home?

I must say, that is an exceptional looking job, the bike looks fabulous.
Certainly a long term keeper now, and the $$ you must be pouring in are certainly visible!

Christian, you've gotta be happy with that eh?  It looks great!!

You must be itching to get back on it and have a good ride.

I now know how good my engine will look when Mal finishes with it.

See ya when you come over here.

Cheers

Xtian

Keep us posted, on the dates for your trip over here.  I'd like to catch up and have a look at your bike before you head home.
