    3/4 of the fun is doing the work. I only keep one rider myself and let the projects pass on to someone who appreciates them.

    Pretty bike looks great! As a point of reference on the lift;
    I saw one on the net the same as yours but they cut it in 1/2 and stretches it about 4' added steel and welded everything it made a very nice lift and the handle/ part that sticks out was in front of the front wheel. I'll look for pics.

    Mmmm club plates they are a bloody good thing. Seeing as I ride for pleasure not like when i was a young fella and it was rain or shine. All 3 of mine on the red plates, total of $206 reg for total of 135 days riding per year. With the option to double that. Club membership $15 per year. Rather than full reg for 1 at about $550.

    Hope you find another bike in need of your attention after this one is out the door.

    An electric start Yam SRX600 would be good keeper for you ?? light and easy to manage.
