@WhiskeySandwich thanks bro! I tried to turn it into a little business a couple years ago but I live in a fairly small city on the east coast of Canada so there isn’t a big market for custom paint jobs here haha

@BenBWH You’re off to a good start and should tie you over until the cooler weather arrives. I would also suggest some decent rain gear because you will get caught out eventually. Heated grips are a game changer when riding in colder temps and can be installed on any bike if they don’t come with the bike you decide upon. Where about are you located?

@EvoChoppin Nice build and tank paint jobs

@Denman-John hi mate, I’m on the south coast of England (10 mins drive from IHUK)
So it’s pleasantly warm most of the time tbh, even in “winter” it doesn’t really get that cold, just wetter. This heat today is just the first batch needed for my course next month. I bought the best helmet I could afford and then the wax jacket and gloves. Water proofs are on the list, along with armoured pants of some description but I hadn’t got as far as heated grips! Added to list! Thanks brother -
@Marc2706 thanks! The first picture (before I chopped it) makes the bike look better than it actually did. The whole thing was held together with rust, cheap spray paint and more rust haha.

Shit happened! I got front ended, the sucker stopped, I stopped about 1½ meters behind him. After about 30 sek. or so reverse lights went on, he dropped the clucth and hit the pedal. Down I went... the car didn't move properly so he decided to give it a bit more gas and I got pushed about 2 meters or so under my bike on asphalt. Then he probably heard me shouting like raped ape and stopped and came to see what's going on. Luckily there was eyewitnesses who called ambo and cops. This was a bit over 3 weeks ago leg still swollen and the cut is still open. (I was wearing my Mr. Lous, which are almost intact) I'm lucky I didn't brake any bones in my leg when my bike dropped on my foot, and that me and the bike were between the tires, si that car didn't climb on my bike. Then it would've hurt really... So folks, wear proper shoes, thick jeans/leathers, leather jacket, gloves, and helmet (I hit my head when I went down, but I realized that only later when checking my gear for damage)
