So let's just say... this was a good day.
 If you remember way back in this build thread I told you about a good friend sold me some great parts... then told me to come back and made me a great deal on a titled frame, motor and tons more parts.
 Since then him and me have been on a few Tiddler rides.. rides with just a few friends and lots of bike talk since.
 Well he called me the other day and told me to come to his place. He wanted to show me something.
 I went over there today. He showed me a sweet Bridgstone 200cc twin. The bike was all original and sounded great. Beautiful bike. He said he had to buy it.
 Can't blame him.
 But then he told me that wasn't why he told me to come over. He took me and showed me a R5.. complete bike in fantastic condition... except..though it would start it was making seriously bad noise from the pistons and bottom end.
 Then he handed me the clear title.  :omg:
Said.. "It yours.. price is a cheeseburger, fries and a shake."
I was totally floored.
Of course now it's in my yard.

He said he saw my fire posts he knew this one was destined to be my new build.
 I have no idea how I built such good karma with all my former shenanigans but I am blessed.

Yeah now I'm happy.
 Getting top end done.
 New parts for that, the new rebuild on my crank and all that's needed for a 6 speed trans to R5 transplant.
 I ordered every rubber or wear part for the engine and frame/chassis. 
Talked to my body man to get the tank painted. 
 Stoked I am
This bike will be sweet
...just like my previous build that went up in smoke.
Thanks to all who helped get me here.
 You all are my brothers from another mother.
