Hate to be you if it scrams itself huh but then again better you than me.

if it does i only have myself to blame and will not look to sue anyone else (american sport) i spend 99% of my time building and the rest riding , i look forwards to things going wrong and take pride in fixing them , how sad is that , i dont like the machine you are building (no surprise) but would be embaressed riding it out in case any one asked a technical Q and my reply was "i dont know as i payed somone else to do that"  but like you say its in your heart so ride your wifes scooter and enjoy it , she had that built by a nice chinese man/woman/child

What ever floats your boat I have always said.

I must admit I like time spent in the workshop probably more than riding although I do about 10000 miles a year on bikes. I'm not a trained engineer but I love the problems old bikes throw at you and the learning curve of making them good again.

So do I and I am slowly learning.

Guaranteed  12 wins out of 12 races at wallasey, see photo
9 wins out of 9 races at Southport.   Lots more besides  and only 4 teachests full of trophies to show for it.   If you are restoring a Triumph check very carefully the nuts welded on the back of the oiltank because when they crack off the tank is only hanging on the pipes by the back footrest.
4 days is only the engine, I done the running gear. And yes that included the oil tank.
