16 years?? wowzers! I dont think i'd be allowed out the dog house if i took that long to finish her bike...
Hopefully it wont take me too long to do it... few months over winter - (since its her bike i dont think there'll be too much issue with me spending a few evenings a night on it whilst she keeps warm on the sofa
) - at least it should be a quick strip, clean, paint/powder coat and reassemble job (fingers crossed...)
her last bandit took me 7 months of so of constant swearing (such a horribly unreliable bike... but it looked good...and in the end owed me 800 quid... couldnt get it up for sale quick enough once it was MOT'd... never got it quite right..)
that started out as:
but finished as:
If i can get the monster to the same level of work looks wise i'll be happy..
colour scheme-wise - powder coat the frame red, wheels white and bodywork grey... thats the plan so far.. not a fan of red vehicles too much (yet somehow Ive got a red car and so does annabel hah)

Know how you feel - plenty of bikes on my bucket list for fettling with... slowly getting through them one at a time
well - two at a time at the moment...
you are quite local yeah - i work as a mechanic in the garage by the boathouse pub, so know the ice creams well
if you're ever out for a spin let me know
(although i'm stuck following annabel riding the monster on my little 125 commuter whilst the Guzzi's still in bits
)
