We all know I don't need another project, but my buddy woke me up with a text today...
So. I guess I have another project :jpshakehead.sml:
I mean c'mon, how could you turn that down?
I don't remember what year it is or if it has a title or not.
If I recall correctly, the story goes something like this: He used to ride it regularly, then it got stolen and he ended up getting it back sans ignition and some other odds and ends. Between theft and recovery he picked up another ride, and when he got the 919 back he put it on the workbench to do... something... with it that never ended up happening. He has almost all the parts to make it go, but hasn't done anything with it in X years and is tired of staring at it.
If there's no title I'll turn it into a track bike or something. If there is it'll go the route of stubby exhaust, Monster-ish tail, drag bars, forks/trips, etc. But not until the Busa is done... and the B12 is finished... and the 929 is up and going... and the R1 is at least mostly there.
I'll get pics up when I get it in hand.
I just need to make sure I'm not present when the wife discovers it in the garage.
