Well this SP2 was found in boxes and all over the last workshop I worked. There were two frames and 3 blown motors. I obviously asked if I could assemble it to use as transport and was laughed at. You will never get it going sez the boss! Well they were wrong, built a pretty rough, but very sweet SP2! Did not spend a cent either all the spares were there, just needed someone to get stuck in and get busy.

Yup, for once in my life it was fun to go to work knowing I had an interesting project on the go. Pity I could not take it with when I left! Although I did doctor it to not run again:evilgrin: Found it as scrap, pretty much left it as assembled scrap:D Kinda left on bad terms!

Should have made an offer on the scrap before I assembled. But then I was a bit unsure if I would get one up and running out of the scrap anyways. Kinda got attached to that bike and was fcuked off when I had to give it back. So we gonna have to wait before I can ride with you!
O.A. for life

Mike, now thats when "work" is fun! But remember on this project(SP2) everything was there. The SP2's parts were all from various race bikes lain to rest. The body kits and accessories were all there in packaging, taken off when they got their race skinz. Buying wrecks gets expensive. You can search ebay, secondhand parts from the US are waaaay cheaper even with postage than what we will find here, from the rob dogs at bike hospital and N&R. But it takes time in the post. If you got the financial backing.....I got the tools!! Time for me to go into business on my own!!! (besides my carbon fiber intakes on ebay)

You don't.
You have to host the video on another site (like youtube) and then post a link here.
