It begins...

Well, I finally took some advice from someone, and decided I'd better actually make a record of the project I decided to take on this time, so everyone can see just how disorganised I can be at times.
This is a blog of the restoration of a 1981 Yamaha XS1100 motorcycle, which I picked up on Ebay for $1700. (Please, after you've seen the photos, don't laugh too hard. It's bad enough thinking how much more I'm gonna have spent by the end of this...)

The idea of this project is to completely dismantle the bike, and rebuild it bringing it back to relatively close to original condition, or as close as my budget will allow me to do.
It's really only going to be worked on during weekends or in my time off, so if this blog isn't updated in a while, it's not that I'm being lazy with the blog (but it could be), I probably just haven't gotten anything done. I'll try to keep this updated as much as I can, even if only just to remind me of what I've gotten done and have to do.

I unloaded the bike a couple of days ago, and it's now sitting in my garage. Unfortunately my camera has flat batteries, so I'll have to post some photos in a little while.
I suppose this first post is more of a formality than anything. See you in the next update.

Cheers.
