    Decided to go with the rattle tin job, don't want it to be amazing cos then I'll end up looking after it on track.

    Here's the tail and tank so far..

    To start off I have two biker mates paul and kev, paul (getting his knee down in the wet below) cuts stickers for a graphics company and kev is a general handy man. They have both been helping me sort my bike out. So anyway here's the tank, they decided to lacquer some stickers in before I got chance to stop them, sneaky fekkers...

    I don't think age has any factor at all, there are many out there waaaay more skilled then me (or more experienced?) I think knowing that you have a family to go home and look after makes a huge difference. My back hasn't stopped hurting since oulton tho, think I got some whiplash when I highsided :)

    It was called "the snigger" cos the guys who have helped said I'd look like the black stig, but I thought it could offend so I took the sticker off. I'm open to suggestions tho jason...

    I'll start with- "the faceplant"
