| Description: |
I bought this bike in 1975 and road it everyday for 4 years. After a small spill I decided to strip it completely down and restore it to original condition. After lots of stops and starts I commenced a serious rebuild in June last year so that I would have it on the road for my 40th year of ownership and so I could ride it to John O’Groats in its 50th year. Saturday April 25th 2015 after 36 years apart it started 1st kick! I completed the final bits on Thursday night and it was MOT’d on Friday 30th April, the deadline day I set myself last year. Comments very welcome. |
