Thanks Velo. It's in the town where my Dad lives, & he's currently going for a test ride as we speak. Im negotiating hard on the price - it's already priced well, but Im going for the absolute best deal that I can.
Btw Happy thanksgiving!

Heh. None on my puter right now. 
Check post 48 of my Scotsman thread I inadvertently got a picture there of the bike leaning against it. Heres a cardomain page of it from the previous owner who unfortunatly didnt take very good care of it. I had LOTS of rebuilding to do once I had it but now its great ( and very loud ) Just needs a paint job and a T-56 trans; got a crappy T5 in it now.. http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2420759/1999-ford-mustang

Does anyone know if Pat is maybe on holiday or something? I see on his profile that he's been checking into the forum everyday, but I haven't had any answer to emails from a few days back. Someone else here in NZ contacted me today & said they had tried emailing too & had no reply, & someone here on the forum said the same. Anyone know? Just wanna make sure I can still get another Flyer, as someone wants to buy mine.
Thanksgiving holiday. Probably out of town visiting family and hunting in the woods somewhere. He will get back to you.
Yep, I thought it must be because of you guys having the holiday. Someone wants to buy this Flyer, & I would like like to order a 'Flyer Deluxe' from him, that is frame, tank, oil tank etc. I was hoping to order the frame before this one is sold but never mind.
The guys that supplied my first China motor now has a very fast little China motor setup that I want put into the next one. I was very happy with the 48cc once the pipe & carb settings were changed, but this one will be even better apparently.
And no Pat, I don't want a 200 yet!!! I know they're gonna be way cool & torquey, in fact, VERY cool, but Im happy with the China's at the moment so please make me a deluxe !!!

I was just about to suggest a GX200 or something similar... lol.
I thought because you said youre not allowed to ride your bike legally (why is that again? I thought they were legal in NZ????) so you may as well make something a little faster, more reliable and a lot better sounding....... Go on!!!!! You dont wanna drive your tough XR8 all the way to the velodrome only to get on an underpowered china 2 stroke

I'm still here, guys. Busy with the holiday and work. I'll squeeze your frame in somewhere, Brett. Just finished up a deluxe for another guy a week back. Just a frame, right? Your going to swap your parts over from your current build I hope.
The law here on mopeds changed in July this year. You can register them but they have to be inspected & there are a lot of requirements, that make it almost impossible for this kind of bike.I was just about to suggest a GX200 or something similar... lol.

No I like the China motors now that I know how well they can go when properly tuned. And I have a bit of a soft spot for 2 strokes, having owned some in the past.
Someone is asking to buy my whole bike now, they are coming to look at it tommorow.
So Im hoping you will do me a tank & toolbox too
& of course a sprocket adapter
hey Pat, at this point just a frame (the people who viewed the bike haven't gotten back to me at this stage).
Thanks for the video.... LOL..... but id prefer to see a video of you riding your bike. Any videos or recent pictures of your bike?
When the new loop frame is done & arrives I'll show you it with that.
Someone took a vid of me riding it (it flies along now) but I haven't been able to get a copy of the vid. I'll try & see if my son will vid it for me.

Please forgive the off topic post. I got to join in the FPV (Ford performance vehicles) display at the V8 racing event last Saturday.
Here's the line up that my vehicle was in

I threw one of those engines in a Holden Torana GTR back in '95.
I'm having a go at you though Brett, I like whatever car tickles my fancy but couldn't resist the Holden vs Ford rivalry.
I quite like the 6 cylinder turbo Fords

Wasn't patient enough to wait for a drop loop frame so it's being sold as is; lost interest. Pat has a day job & a queue of people waiting for the 200's so I understand the situation.
Here's the demo vid for the sale
