Ruby Rocket !!!!!!!

I started this build in early 2009. I went to the Goulburn swap meet to pick the donner bike only to get jerked around by the dude who sold it to me on ebay. The guy didnt even bring the right bike and tried to sell me a A50 Bezza which is not what I wanted. I started to aruge with the prick but got now where. I had the shits and walked around till I met this old dude named Victor. He heard me arguing and said he had a frame and engine for sale if I wanted it, SWEET! Got the frame and motor for a $500.00 bucks, BARGAIN! The engine cases were split and the whole motor was in peices so I was given about 15 different boxes and ice cream containers which housed the engine bits. Victor asked if I had ever put together a bottom end before I said "No first time." So he offered his help and after giving it a clean and checking all the bushes and bearings we put the bottom end back together. Once the bottom end was together I welded the hard tail frame to the Bezza A65 front frame and got the bike to a rolling chassis. I used a Triumph oil in frame front end that I cut down three inches. Sat the motor in and then I built the top end of the motor. Once the motor was done I got some lightining blts laser cut, the Motor is a A65 Lightining motor.

I bought some mandrill bends and made the pipes. The right side pipe was a bitch and I had to cut the pipe about thousand times and re weld it again and again.

After the bike was mocked up I had Dave "Neo Dutch" O Hanlon paint the tank and fender, he nailed it. The Ruby rocket was named after my daughter he was born during the build. Once the bike was back together I came time to fire it up. After kicking it for three hours the old girl came to life. Still to this day it is still reliable as hell and its a fun little scoot to ride. I first had grey pipes on it but then change it to the white. I could crap on it for hours the build took me just on 12 months. It was one of the best learing experinces and I am about to get stuck into a Trumpy chop. Will post pics of the build.
