shape looks ok, 6082 is plenty strong, it looks too thin.

he is on the road, with a Suzuki, but slightly newer, we were offered a Van Van too cheaply to pass up, decent brakes, fuel injection, he knows it'll start and get him to work. The GP got him good enough to get on the road, but i reckon it'll get it's paint tidied up and get sold on

indicators need replaced (repaired) again..... threads are obviously too much of a stress riser for UK roads
-

CBT will take more time, he's not quite up to speed for the road, I'd much prefer he recognises this and is willing to learn than gets himself hurt
wee bike runs grand, i rode it around the industrial estate for 20 min, much better than I expected, fuel prices keep going up , i'll be having it

little to do list left, nearly there
i'm way too used to modern suspension and brakes..... not ridden an 80's learner bike since the 80's , reckon this'll be interesting, i'll be encouraging him to get his test done sharpish, move onto something bigger

tank is starting to look a bit more usable, might give it another flatten in the morning.
I don't want to use the plastic fuel cap cover, going to make a carbon surround , tail piece is painted too , and the side panels are ready for carbon skinning

petrol tap had a nice coating of molasses too, so that's been stripped and cleaned, much boiled water
the tank was filled with a proper diluted solution of molasses, left for two days, the drained , cleaned and rinsed with duck oil, looks good inside now . Then a nice coat of blek on the underside
side panels are all sorts of horrid, but I have a plan

he's 18, insurance quote was £700 / £750 , compare that to what it'd cost him for car insurance it's not so bad, it has one or two mods, nothing major, nicer bars , diff headlight , n'ohlins shocks , not going mental with it, if he gets into bikes properly then we'll build something
tank is remarkably nice for a 34yr old learner bike , no dents at all
forks are like pogo sticks , i will need to look at them

today's plan had been to start cleaning the outside of the tank up, I had told my mate about the molasses and water to de-rust the inside, unfortunately, something was lost in translation, he just poured neat molasses into the tank and left it for fuck knows how long, so the inside is basically coated in treacle .....
it's had several rounds of hot soapy water, and is at present lined with duck oil, we'll get there
on the up side, it is small enough to fit into the media blaster at work
