Sweet pics

Re: Chevy 51" original Texas truck,,now in Holland
 

Thats sweet! I've got a '09 R6 that I love. I'm going to be looking for the new R1S once i'm sure they've got the transmission sorted out.

Man i'm suprised you get work on the truck done between having to travel for work and setting up the bike for races, thats a lot of time!

Very cool thanks for sharing!

Thanks Doug, it is only a hobby of my, But me and my team are going faster
Every year, its a Nice hobby, But Racing and building a truck cost a lot of money
But it is fun, you only live ones..

Re: Chevy 51" original Texas truck,,now in Holland
 

Thanks Lower50's

Re: Chevy 51" original Texas truck,,now in Holland
 

I used to race with a R1 08 model, like that bike a lot, But with racing I like the R6 a lot more , really better in the corners. And a lot lighter.

That is a sweet bike the New R1
But its a lot of money, in Holland it cost about 25.000 euro

Now I am working again in China, just arrive here, Will be here for one month
After that My wife is coming from Mexico to Holland, and we going to start a family, so I have to work more😱 To maintain my hobby's

Re: Chevy 51" original Texas truck,,now in Holland
 

What method did you use to shorten the bumper so you didn't mark the chrome?

Thanks Marc..

looks a lot better now..

Your build is going good, been following your thread every week

Re: Chevy 51" original Texas truck,,now in Holland
 

Hi Lower50's and Jim (oldman)

I cut the bumper with a normal angle grinder, I Will re-Chrome everything later when the truck is almost finisht, the Chrome still looks good now, you can not see that I did it with a grinder.
