Thank you. The answer to your question is actually a question. "Do you want a good job, or a cheap job?" You obviously can't have both and I don't do cheap because when a job is done I use the "Would I be happy with this job if it was for my own machine" yardstick and if so I'm happy and that allows me to say "I did that" rather than "That's got **** all to do with me". Of course, that ethic requires somewhat more time be spent on the job than otherwise could be spent and therefore it costs more. Now, is the tank already silver or some other colour that you want to change to silver and is there *any* damage to the tank at all? I know, more questions than answers, but you can email me for a better idea. -- Beav VN 750 Zed 1000 OMF# 19
Hmmm - didn't we have a thread about this earlier this year? *googles* http://groups.google.co.uk/group/uk.rec.motorcycles/browse_thread/thread/70b237c0a6ae05a2
http://groups.google.co.uk/group/uk.rec.motorcycles/browse_thread/thread/70b237c0a6ae05a2 Indeed, but I thought it easier just to start the process from scratch.
Sorry, do I know you? BTW, it looks like there will be another Morini tank winging its way to you in the not to distant future.
You did NOT want to see the look on the boychic's face when I saw him working out more flakey shite from your tank and said "Belay that Skipper, we're returning to port for a replacement". The words "You ARE taking the fucking piss I hope?" sneaked past his lips -- Beav VN 750 Zed 1000 OMF# 19
I'm grinning like a loon here, because I've seen the interior of Timo's garage and I know that the supply of completely clapped out bike bits for restoration is just about limitless. Beav, you know those few remaining grey hairs you have? Kiss 'em goodbye. (It's a funny thing. Only two people on ukrm, when I've met them in the flesh, have ever corresponded 100% to my mental image of them. Mick Whittingham was the first. Beav is the second.)
I always got the feeling that Timo was a collector of sorts. I didn't know quite how much of a collector he was though. At least the things he's collected that have seen the inside of our place now look fucking good. I'm trying to get some more first. You sir, have a very strange mind's eye. -- Beav VN 750 Zed 1000 OMF# 19
How much (stab in the dark, finger in the air, no obligation, type of quote) for a tank, mudguard and tailpiece on a CBX. Paint code R-101C-U or NH-101M-U at a push I have decals. Feel free to reply off-group if appropriate. Would a replica tail-fin be better for you than a cracked original?
