    First of all thanks for all nice words!

    One problem living at a Canary Islands island down at the African coast is the delivery's time when I order parts, We doesn’t event belong to the European VAT system which mean everything has to pass through customs twice...

    In other words if I order something urgent from Europe I takes +two weeks delivery :triumph:
    I have been waiting three weeks now for some engine parts, I hope they arrive soon so I can start the engine for first time

    Then I believe it wouldn’t be a pleasure any longer...
    Now nobody tells me what to do or when it has to be finished

    Lovely project and awesome work, especially the paint and the screen change makes a massive difference. Top job!

    The inspiration is the bike a very young Kevin Schwantz raced 1988 at the 8h of Suzuka 0528720A-C13A-46FD-9AEB-BE02321C1279.jpeg
