Return of Beastie?

Well, it's been sitting in my garage for a couple of months now waiting for the inevetable wrecking spanners to come out but I can't be arsed breaking any more bikes now that the wife's due in 2 months.

So methinks a bit of a project is in order and although battered and abused, what lies beneath should be pretty sound.

Well, here it is in all it's naked glory (yoda should get some Kleenex out for the ineveitable

)

can't understand the mentality of folk who pay good money for a smart bike and then do that to it

may as well throw your hard earned out into the street

certainly looks a simple fix tho' ...just a bit of time and patience

I didn't fall off... it was a previous owner

It looks to have seen some salt judging by the state of the alloy,

Right, the bab slept long enough this afternoon for me to get the spanners out.

What a f'kin mess in there... I've broken beter bikes than this

The loom's a mess with that alarm on it. I've probably got a full one in the loft somewhere.

I've pulled it down to frame/engine/swinger/yokes. The rest of it's in a box.

This is going to be a complete stripdown and see what parts I've got in the attic to replace the stuff that need to be junked.

The carbon frame guards are gone. They were glued on with silicone, so I've nitromors'ed the frame and I'll get the polishing kit on it.

As I'm this far in I might as well have the motor out and do the shims... only 5 bolts left to do

.

Motor was fully stripped, and I mean fully stripped, I saw all the bits in a box, at 24,000 miles. Valves done, etc.
