    Too bad you've found another bike already, I have a 2006 CBF250F I'm about to put up for sale!

    An '06... Oh so tempting. It was hard enough convincing the boss I needed a second one. A third would be pushing it...

    Good luck with the sale.

    Thanks - it was my learner bike this time around.
    Had it a bit over 2 years and only ridden it when all my other bikes were off the road or out of rego briefly in the last year.

    I currently have 7 bikes - my uncle visited recently and asked what's the point of having 7 bikes, when as he put it "You only have one butt and can only ride one at a time!"

    I will be selling more soon, as I need the room in my shed to fix some of the others!

    G'day George, I just caught up on your HS30-00019 project log, I can understand wanting to just enjoy the 350 as it is.
    I have an S130 project that may never get finished .. and another 3 bike projects from years back that will never get finished. :oops:

    Any goer beats a pristine shed ornament in my opinion.

    Heh... How did you come across the project log? Yeah, one mess in the garage is enough for me. That car will take me years to complete. I'm off to Adelaide to see the progress next weekend actually. It has been a few months since I've seen it. I was looking fir a complete S30 but ended up with a complete rust bucket. Oh well.

    I've also got a little bub cooking and he's due in April. It's our first and I dare say that will be my biggest project... that'll put the brakes most boys stuff so I'm glad the bike at least will be ready to enjoy as time allows.

    Are you doing the work on the S130 yourself? How far are you from rego? Or is that a dream still...

    I was active on the ausZcar site (under a different name) when my 280zx was a goer, before I retired it due to rust and mechanical issues. Mechanical repairs are no problem, rust repairs are another story however.

    As is often the case, finding time to spend on these projects seems to be the biggest hurdle.
