Ric, it sounds like your a lucky man :D

Ive made an absolute cock of myself :shock:
My mate was advising me how to weld over the fone and told me to practice straight lines and C shapes until he came round to check my progress
He found it highly amusing when i showed him my work
A 12" strip of steel with I C I C I C I C I letters welded on it :mrgreen:
And what he meant was straight lines done in C shape movements to create a row of coins effect :shock:

After watching youtube for hints n tips on welding and getting side tracked ...as you do :shock:
I found.....PLASMA CUTTERS.........OMG what a tool to have
Now that the S2 Monza 230 lumps residing in the GP frame for a while as i sort the S2 frame out
The GP nearside panels already cut for the Mugello with LTH reed valve and ram air filter and my OCD needs abit of symetry.
The plasma cutter will get abit of action and trim up the offside to suit the Monza kit
But my mind is already wandering.........




Back to the 80's cut down.....

A chance meeting with Dan of D&G Scooters yesterday and ive got a new addition to the garage
And the Karma is now balanced.....ive got me 2 lammys, the wifes got a matt black Primmy and now this for the lad
This free donation has saved the fate of an Indian getting the plasma cutter treatment
And is a good cure for my welding/cutting addiction

The sand blaster had the frame for almost a month......this is a bad thing for me as it gives me time to think and change my mind.....
Ive decided against the cut legshields , so another set was sourced cheaply and ive robbed a few bits from the Series 2 as this is getting a revamp aswell
