You see before you a happy foccer. There's a chance (albeit very slim) that I may get out on the bike this season!! 
I had a play on GoCompare this evening. If ALL I DO is replace the swingarm, the underseat exhaust, and possibly the R1 tail fairing, and with my landlord as a named rider.... a year's insurance on Project Fazer is "only" £613. I may even be able to get that down if I can add more experienced riders to the policy!
Not to mention that the insurance might finally have sorted itself out by then.... :rolleyes
The better news is that all I need, I either already have or can get (like the R1 tail fairing) locally. Once the engine is done - sorry, looks like that's not starting till next week now - I'll have the basis for a road worthy machine.
Stay tuned! Hopefully, I'll be able to retrieve the chassis on Sunday afternoon, depending what time my parents leave, then let the fettling begin! :lol :lol
