Default It Feels Like Christmas Already!!

SHE IS ALIVE!!!!

i feel like a kidd on christmas day. went to start it thinking it would take a couple of trys and it went first go!!

she is running zx6r carbs and edis4/mjolt setup. i didnt change a single thing on the zx6 carbs they just went on the same as they come off the bike.

to say im happy just doesnt express how i feel at the moment. you will see from the video. i feel like a fool for the noises i made but i dont care

here is the video

Hey guys, Ash phoned me up just after taking the video.
He was like a puppy with two tails.
I wonder how many other member he phoned.

Good on ya mate, really pleased for ya.
I bet the neighbour ain't quite so chuffed though....
It's a great feeling when it first comes to life.
You know it's all been worth the wait.
You know what comes next though....
The run down that private road that all member seem to have

by the way Ash.... what have you called her ???
"She is alive"

during my build my car has been called lots of names!!! not all allowed to be on a public forum if you get my drift?

again a BIG well done on this fantastic milestone of your build

cheers

Well done dude

I will look forward to hearing it in person at the Exeter show. I am 90 % ready with my wiring and fuel lines, so its just a a few final connection before my v6 beast is fired up. Can I be as lucky as you to start first time?
