The New Guy

Hi there, just treated myself to a sunny day bike for Xmas - not that we get any where i live !! I bought it from a garage that specialises in restorations with the intention to turn it into a cafe-racer or flat tracker but am now thinking otherwise as the bike is immaculate, Matching frame and engine numbers, new paint job and a 2-1 exhaust system that sounds great. Ive only ridden it twice but its a great little bike and a lot smoother and easier than i thought for something a lot older than im used to. Got a gremlin in the electrics that keeps blowing the indicators/horn fuse that needs sorting but apart from that im as happy as a pig in s**t.

clean bike. welcome

welcome paul, CLEAN lookin bike... dig the blue

welcome Paul, just down the road from me on the east Lancs, I live in Eccles. must hook up sometime.

There is another guy in Cadishead who has a 400 too!

Welcome! Beautiful bike - leave it original.

Hi pal, yeah would be good to meet up sometime. Id like to check out that tracker of yours, it looks the mutts nuts. Have you done most of the work yourself ?

Nice looking bike.
That's the problem with clean bikes. It's hard to take something that looks that good and tear it apart so you can make something else.
Maybe keep it as it is and buy another "basket case" to turn Cafe.
