1981 GS450E Rebuild

[pete]

You two discussing 27 degree weather, are not making me feel any warmer while I pour some Scotch and look at the 29 degrees on my thermometer.

Charlie G

Mmmmm Scotch! What variety Charlie? Like me a good Scotch

Aren't they using Celsius down under?
27 would be 80.6 F to us.

Daniel

Yes indeed! Got a feeling young Charlie was yanking my chain there

I think that was a tongue in cheek comment from Charlie G....
Congrats Pete, if I haven't said so already, been hectic here.
and snowing!

Thanks mate! So close yet so far... one non-rainy day on Friday and I'll be laughin'!

Snow? Man you can have that! Definitely give that a big swerve

That's right, 27 proper degrees



Fingers crossed for you, Pete.
Queensland: Perfect one day.. hehe

Hahaha thanks Leigh, but didn't you hear the new slogan? Raining one day, flooded the next?

Bad luck Pete, shocking rain outside, looks like its set in for the day. Keep dry and upright.

Yes indeed! Didn't stop all bloody day until I was home with a beer... ended up cleaning the house instead of getting rego... how excitement!

At this stage I'll work from home on Friday as they're predicting only a chance of a shower as opposed to showers all day, so hopefully I can get it done then. Itching to get her registered so I can ride any time I damn well like!

Bah! It was nothing.
10 minutes work to help you visualise how the bike will look?
A pleasure to do it.

27 here yesterday and I had the day off.
Do you know how good that cold beer at Flinders pub was?

Two words Leigh... shut up

I would put other words in the middle but they don't go well on this forum

I at least got a nice cold beer here at home today... and I believe it didn't quite make it to 19 degrees either...

Roll on Friday... and hope the weather helps me out!

Oh, and thanks for your paint mock up too!

Now I'm sitting here chanting rain rain go away...

Congratulations!!!! The bike looks (and sounds) awesome!!! A couple little details here and there that can get taken care of pretty easily. For now concentrate on refreshing your riding skills!!

Seriously awesome job on the rebuild.

Thanks Tim Tom! Cannot wait to get the rego done and start riding again

Thanks heaps for your paint scheme mock up again too, as you can see by the almost final product it helped immensely

Great news, Pete. The worst is over.
Now all you have to do is deal with the rego drones and you're on the way.
I bet that train ride becomes a bike ride more often than you claim..

Indeed it is Leigh! Would've like to have gotten her rego'd yesterday but I guess I'll just have to use some more of that 10 year patience

Quite possibly true on the train comment there

Rego...phhhaa, go ride the snot out of it.....well done Pete.

Thanks Stan!

Sooooo tempted! Except the street I live in seems to be a cop magnet... they're always driving down here...

30,000+ views, I don't see how one would ever think people were following your build??

Pete, I'm REALLY happy for you!

Last time I looked at that it had only just topped 20000! Wow

Cheers Dale! And thanks again for your help on the paint job, you guys rock

Thanks mate, I'm quite surprised at just how many are following this thread and it's awesome to see the moral support and encouragement along the way
