Well done.

David

Congratulations!
I love the frenzied camera work, random screaming and rude engine note
Most excellent!!
I've still got a wav file somewhere on my comp of the first time I fired the ST1100 up (including large carb flamefart backfire!!)... Sounds so much better now it's sync'd and colortuned but even so... brings back memories!!!

You were well pleased with that wern't you?
Nice one.
Steve.

the 1st fire up i recored it sounded like a dumper truck but i did have all the plug leads in back to front

always a great feeling and well worth getting excited about

Oh YEAH! I can tell you that it's a feeling you will remember for many years to come.

Congratulations!

Welldone mate. Good feeling isnt it.

The camera mans a bit excited..

Hi you are getting closer to that first race every day. Well done .

And i suppose you are gonna drive it up and down the drive now aswell .

cheers matt

You sound disappointed mate

Well done, good feeling isn't it!!

Well Done...

That feeling of success never leaves you... Its the same as when I got my first motorbike engine started. It didn't run and was abandoned in a garden for a few years (Engine blown). I stripped it, rebuilt it with a book from the library, and eventually got it on the road and sold it at a huge profit. (paid £6:50, sold £30).

I was only 15 at the time I built it, and that was 39 years ago.

I have had this several times over the years with engines I have built. Its the same every time... a really good feeling when it starts!..

Keep at it, you will get it on the road eventually... What's more there are other elations to come, like the first drive, the SVA pass etc..

Much like the first sound you hear from your newly born baby it truly is a sound you will never forget.

All the hassle, trouble, heartache, sleepless nights all seem to be worth it for that fraction of a second. The grin lasts for ages when the image pops into your mind... enjoy it, for it will carry you on to finish your build. Well done and thanks for sharing it with us all...
