Well, this is about all the norwegian i`m gonna write here in this forum:p
I came across this forum by accident thru google but as i said in another thread: :xlrocks
I live in the northwest of :no: nearby a town called Ålesund
I am 36 years old and have a doughter at 9.
I own a -70 XLCH wich is nothing like when it left the factory before i was even born. I bought it for xmas in -99 and had it on the road as it was the summer of 2000. When i took it out in the spring of -01 it only lasted for about 2 months before one day my kick got stuck in the bottom position after starting it and i didn`t notice until i got home from work. Lots of bits & pieces in the primary. Well, it took me about 4 hours to fix that but the rest of that season went by as i was rebuilding the rest of the bike. The elecrical seems lik it was just thrown on the bike and after lowering the rear my exhaust was to low for turning right so i had to make a new one. I didn`t like the stock oiltank so i got myself a new one made and i relocated the battery. I also wanted a new rearfender so i made a new one from a WLA 750 springer frontfender and some new stainless struts. In spring -02 it was ready to fire up and i had almost 3 weeks of fun with it until my rear jug cracked down at the bottom. I got a new used one from Sweden and replaced the cracked one. After that it didn`t start:doh
I got tired of the whole bike and left it out to die. For 2 years it sat out all year until fall -04 when i decided to kill it properly. I riped the engine out, took of the tank and left everything out in the snow again. Last fall a friend of mine said that if i didn`t get started on the bike by xmas he would come and get it, finish it and i would never see it again (this was the friend that helped me with the rebuild back in -01 so i kinda owed him to finish it mysef)
Before snow came i took it in to my shop where my projectcar is and started to pull it apart. It didn`t go fast but then my friend came again and said that the bike had to be finished by the end of april.
So now as one thing lead to another i have a rebuildt engine and a bare frame to put it in. I also have a deadline:yikes
This was a little about me, a lot about my sporty and the rest, well, i`ll be seeing you around in the forums;)
Guess i`ll be making a thread in the projectszone soon, but IMO a projectthread is worthless without pictures and as i understand i have to have at least 15 posts to put in links or pictures... but, they will come.
And as a little warning: as i am Norwegian i am not used to write english so there may be some gramathical mistakes and some wrong spelling. If you find any, feel free to keep them as i don`t want them anymore, i have plenty:D
