here is a front view for you to, Abe has done a sensational job, am really looking forward to seeing this bike in person

Well , had Tony (Sicman), rock up last night at about 10.30pm. He had left home after work at about 5pm and travelled to my place with bike trailer attached. Caught up and had a couple of Kilkennys. 'twas good to see the lad again. Up at 7am this morning and rocked over to Abe's place to pick up the machine in question. Was good to meet Abe and I must say, he has done an outstanding job on the little ST, it looks immaculate. He also came good with a cuppa and we had a good chat. A very interesting chap with a sterling pedigree. Anyway, got the beast loaded and we all said farewell, Tony heading to Guyra, me heading home and Abe off to earn a quid.

A rewarding and productive day. The story continues.........

Streak,
The good old CX500, a trusty bike, shaft drive, comfy, a bike well loved around the world. Cant go wrong.

ST2UP · « **Reply #181 on:** July 21, 2013, 10:33:14 PM »

Well the "surprise" is safely tucked into our shed tonight.......looks schmick !!!

Streak · « **Reply #182 on:** July 22, 2013, 05:13:09 PM »

Well the bike here! Tony, ST2UP & Jean arrived safe and sound with the precious cargo on board, we have dropped it off at the bike shop for a New type and a Road Worthy, Willd Rose (Leo) even came along for a look as he will be looking after the bike until "Delivery"

we also made a nice discovery that the motorcycle instructor who does the lessons also owns an ST1100! so bonus!

then we went to the Southern Hotel for lunch, where we where all fed and watered nicely!

It was great to see everyone, and a huge thank you to the 1,350km worth of driving that tony did to bring me the bike, and for Chris and Jean for coming along and keeping Tony Company!

Very impressive Kwaka rebuild pics you have there too.
You did say you were a bit of a kwaka nut - it's an understatement

wouldn't it be funny after all this Teela didn't want a bike but was " just saying"

DaleMcLean · « **Reply #191 on:** July 23, 2013, 06:22:19 AM »

Seeing it on a trailer makes me think

Someone should build a H-D look a like bike cover for trailering other bikes

My brother in law said the same thing.....

But this has been researched and investigated by 4 people inside the circle of friends, I wanted to be 100% sure before any money was spend and effort taken

The only thing I have not been able to work out is how to get her to go and get her Learners before she gets the bike...

Or if she was actually reading this thread

Tell her it'll be incase something happens while out and about, and she'll need to get it back home

Sicman · « **Reply #197 on:** July 24, 2013, 08:33:53 PM »

Well I got home at 1730 today after a 2400km round trip to deliver a surprise package which will hopefully make someones dream come true.
I had a ball catching with with some old mates Abe, Neale, Streak, ST2UP and Pockey and met Wildrose at the drop off luncheon.
I must thank Pitstop who was most happy to release me for four days for this project. Although I am not sure why, but it must be her love and understanding of my needs

This project has brought a lot of joy to a host of people as you will see in the photos I took along the way.
First - The pickup

Abe (Chief mechanic) - of Dave, Dave, Dave and Duncan fame

Neale - Pit crew and ST escort from Padstow to the M7 turnoff

I left Sydney and headed towards Guyra stopping in at East Maitland for a quick cuppa with my grand kids. Check out the joy on their faces as they check the surprise out

More to follow

Sicman · « **Reply #198 on:** July 24, 2013, 08:40:37 PM »

Then It was onto ST2UP's and Pockeys at Guyra for some great food and company. Here is the surprise parked in the shed for the night with Chris on board

Then it was up early and along for the delivery was ST2UP and Pockey. We left at 7am for Toowoomba
Jean - Pockey

Chris and Pockey

More to follow

Sicman · « **Reply #199 on:** July 24, 2013, 08:43:50 PM »

Then it was onto the final resting place for delivery to the next stage of the project and a celebratory luncheon with Streak, WildRose, ST2UP, and Pockey

How cool to have been a part of this project and how cool to have been able to watch the joy its brought as each stage has progressed
