I haven't met a Lady yet, that if she weighed half of what she does now she would still want to lose 25% more weight.
If that is yourself in those pictures forget about what you weigh and just get riding ( enjoy life ).

That's me
In the pics with the bike, yes, thats me. My avatar, no, that's not me. I'd love to have one though!
A CR500 is a thing of beauty whatever the frame is made of, but me, I'd rather ride a hoon!
Made more progress on the bike. We installed the cylinder head from Roosty and fabbed our own style of handle bar mounted lever. When funds allow, I am going to pick up a clutch perch/ lever assembly from a CRF with the hot start set up, for now we used a BMX handle which I'll shorten to fit right. Rebuilt the right hand fork. New seal, oil and a good cleaning. My seal on the brake side fork is still good, I changed the oil, but the bottom of the fork tube is fubarred so I skipped rebuilding it untill I can find a replacement fork. Cleaned and greased the steering head. Now pretty much just waiting for plastics!
There will be more as we go

WOW! another BIG ( height ) dude.
How come you guys are so BIG? Were you force fed as kids or something? ( put on a stretching rack )
I feel like a midgit.

Thats awesome man. We have a 16 yo Daughter and we had a Rancher 450 quad, she got pissed because she could only get it to go 58 miles per hour! I'm thinking holy hell shes going to kill her self, now she wants a dirt bike cause it will go faster! LOL. I like the dog idea, we have a pure bred German Shepard that watches over the kids like a hawk. Our 4 year old boy tries to ride her, and if I mess with him the dog attacks me! Thats great to have support of your family with your adventures isn't it!
Heh, get video of Mama starting it for you.

Well we're getting there. Got new plastics in today and got rid of all the black stuff. Mama traced for then did the cut outs for the number pjate background. She's not happy with the way it came out, but I think it looks fine. Now just need to get rid of the faggy seat cover and figure out how to shine up the tank and find some shroud stickers. Had to put the triangle on the front, just like it. This is all UFO, I would give the fit/ finish a 7 or 8 out of 10 but looks a hell of a lot better than what came off.
