My engine went in tonight - hopefully for the last time

title says it - feeling pleased so I thought I'd share it. Bike engines - doncha just love 'em, plonked it in myself; no gear, just heaved it over the side & spun the nuts up. I've mounted it on rubber ('cos it's no effort & I'm sure it must be a good idea....). It's connected to the wheels too - got to start seriously wiring now!

Sounds painfull!

Thats what happens when you don't use lifting equipment! Put some ointment on, you'll be ok in a day or two

sorry....someone had to!

lookin good by the way.

OK it was a wee bit painful... but successful outcome - worst bit was my injured left knee complaining at carrying an extra 65kg!
Thanks - I hope it's still looking good when I've put the rest of the stuff on it - it still has the 'minimalist' thing going for it at the moment!
Cheers
Bob

Looks good Bob. Love the colour particularly on the chassis.

Cheers
