Your bike is coming along well. I have got to say that I envy your work space...I do not have a garage at all and that is one of the primary things I don't like about this house. By the way, how did you flight testing go? Are you now a card carrying commercial, instrument rated, multi-engine pilot?

Not neccesarely, but makes the routing of the (stainless) brakeline a little bit smoother. Got one from Anderson in auction for 49usd+shipping.

This is attached to the whitewall (tyre): Bert and his HD (hope I'm not offending anyone by placing an HD on this forum) I'm using his shed for the winter. Greetz Kropatchek

Changed the forkoil, replaced the brakepump, renewed the brakecaliper seals, installed RPM indicator etc. etc. BTW: This NOT my normal riding gear. When it is not raining to-morrow I take her for a spin. Greetz Kropatchek
