Yes, Started with the 500 and into it realized just more parts for the 650… Didnt know anything about this bike when I started. Learned from many people, acquired lots of tools, bought enough parts to build 3 bikes, even learned how to weld… the process was a journey!
Such a gorgeous looking Bobber! Just how I'm doing my TR6R. Triumph tank and 2 inch lowered forks with exposed springs! Good job and great video. Thanks for posting.
It's great to see relatively new pilots from other regions learning skillfully. Your technique is very modern, and performed very well. You clearly have learned the basics that will help you launch and land safely in future turbulent conditions. Both you and your flight instructor(s) deserve a lot of credit. I wouldn't be at all surprised if you're learning from Mission Soaring Center. If not, it would be nice to know the name of your instructor. Now the real challenge is to keep from losing those basic, fundamental launch and landing habits that you're forming. 1. BODY fully upright. 2.LOW hands. 3. EYES on target (course) and 4. SPEED as chosen for the conditions. Around here, we call this checklist BLES and we rehearse it verbally on each take off and approach. Keep up the great work!
Thanks Joe! For the kind words. My instructor is actually John Simpson from California Hang Gliding. I'm very happy with him. He's very detail oriented and progressive in his teachings. He has a great track record for keeping his students safe as well.
All way think it is a such a god idea to photo the build from the very start as you have, we build things and then once they are completed you try to explain to others what you have done, but they will never know, what you really have done
