          Too many here this year.However, I'll try get em all done but one.

          Have to do a bottom end swap on the wifes Suzuki 650 Savage and typical maintance and a new tire and belt on her 440 LTD as well. My Kat is on the table this winter for maintance and a few upgrades. I haven't done a thing to her since I got her so I figure this years the year..

          I also have a ground up project going. It's a 77 Kz 650 that is taking on all new goodies.Front clip, rear clip, motor work, new metal work and maybe a few other things as well. I'll post this one in the projects section towards the middle of winter when I have some thing to show of her.

              This winter, I'm working on the $1100 seven fiddy from new york ciddy. I will probably wind up stripping it down to the frame and finally learning about engines, the hard way.
              You want a Porsche? The kid that has it never did anything with it. I tried to sell him my BMW but he bought the Porsche and I don't think he can afford it.

              Plan on cleaning the carbs' and putting in new fork seals, and new tires on.

                My favorite is also the 928, but way too expensive for me, i picked the 944 up pretty cheap.
                Ok, no more mister nice guy, i've met the guy in the street, and he's a wanker.

                  Something about that 928s spaceship shape...has been my favorite car since I was 16.
                  My stepdad owned a 911, but sold it when I was still young.

                  Like I said, I'm still jealous. Even if Porsche is owned by crappy VW, I just love the external aesthetics of the Porsche.

                      - Swap my 05 clutch basket with a 03-4.
                      - Low pro crankcase breather with catch can that dumps to the clutch basket.
                      -New cltutch and throttle cables.
                      -Finnish glassing and making my new tail section
                      -reshape my nose cone whare the handlebars would normally go.
                      -Finnish sculpting out the glass around my headlight.

                        1) fender elimination
                        2) Change rear brake pads

                        Then money/time permitting:

                        Switch to LED brake/turn signals
                        Switch to HID's
                        Corbin seat
                        Switch to an 03+ tail
                        Oderint dum metuant
                        -Caligula

                            I just plan on finishing something. I don't care what it is, or what one of the bikes it's for, I jut need to finish ONE thing, and I'll be happy come springtime. I laugh, but it's sad.
