    somwhere legal cheers.. hasent failed, just havent taken it down as its still missing a couple things.

    bikes can pass an mot without a speedo, pointis they SHOULDENT.... id liek this bike to pass ANYWHERe not just my friends mot centre.. as should you all. an mot is the minimum safety requirement.. ignoring this and getting an mot from a friendly person is not doing anyone any favors, mostly you.

    but ye, no chance of a 172 befor crimbo.. wouldent wash if i was to buy one so she aint getting one till crimbo :D

    Minor, just noticed the bit about the chemical peel on the inner panels to bring back the colour. i've heard it done to car bumpers to bring back the black without painting

    its my own little concoction. a mix of m.e.k and zippo lighter petrol (verry fucking flamible) its basicly a sofend acid, just turns the verry top of the plastic to liquid briefly...

    better option is just use the lighter fluid, rub it hard with a duster then wd40 weekly.. does the same thing, just doesent last as long

    ok, hot weather has arrived and as promised i have an update.

    there are no visual updates as it looks the same, so fuck all point in pics. i have however had lots of trouble registering the frame, so ive ditched it, stripped my typh down and like the loving boyfriend i am built hers from the remains (the rest of wich has been sold or put aside for a later project)
    so..... ive had to mod the frame for the forks/engine (As its a 50 frame) also had to remake some mounts for things like the rectifier and the master cylinder mount (wich was there, but fucked) no point in pics, all boring. i have however got a 172 and 25mm carb sitting here to go on tomorrow so will get a couple running vids an some pics. it wont be anything special, its her first 172 afterall so no porting, keeping the technigas (she wont part wiht the can she spent a few days polishing LOL)but its still worth a lil update and a couple pics/vids...

    but ye, tomorrow's the day :)
