750 Sport restoration project

[Andrew2]

Wow, how nice is that!. That looks amazing .

Forgive my ignorance I'm not a car buff but what is it

[HIGHWAY89]

Hey Andrew, it's a factory built copy of the 1965 Carol Shelby AC Cobra, it's a Backdraft Racing Cobra built around 2014 I think but is new never registered, fibreglass body, there's been many kit cars copying the AC ever since it's design, not many factory built replicas, a present to myself after nearly 40 years of my trade waha. Hope alls good over there and your bikes all sorted, atleast covid seems to be dying out.

[Andrew2]

That's awesome and well deserved. Are you going to register it.

Things have settled down for the moment. With a bit of luck I'll be able to get over to Perth to visit my young fella now. I'm going to the superbikes then Tassie in November and was going to sneak in a ride to WA in between now and then but thinking winter in WA and south might be a bit cold?.

[HIGHWAY89]

A friend is the Australian distributor for these cars and we have a specific list of small items to engineer/ pass liscenceing, the plan is to liscence for this coming summer. It is definitely starting to get colder over here now mate but a road trip on a bike all that way would be pretty bloody awesome I wreckon, good luck I hope that works out for you.

[HIGHWAY89]

Mate if you do get over here you're more than welcome to drop in and have a beer or coffee and a face to face catch up for sure. What bike would you do that trip on mate?

[Andrew2]

Cheers, that would be cool.

I would probably be on a DR650. I'd be hitting a fair chunk of dirt roads on the way over and back plus a bit of a look around while I was there.

[HIGHWAY89]

That sounds like one he'll of a journey mate , I may have been able to do that 20 years ago wow bloody awesome time by the sound of it

[Andrew2]

I hope so but at the moment I can barely put one foot in front of the other....bloody Covid

[HIGHWAY89]

Sounds like covid got you pretty good,guessing you will be back up and running now mate, my bike has stalled again as I have right shoulder surgery tomorrow arrgghhh, can't win a trick lately, left shoulder surgery when this one's healed a bit so some months off any type of work , hows your 750 going, and hopefully your road trip is on track

[Andrew2]

Everything has come to a grinding stop at the moment. Sleeping 12 plus hours a day. Things will turn around soon enough though.

Good luck with that shoulder surgery mate. You'll be as god as new in no time.
