Isn't she a beut!
Picked up for the princely sum of £feckall.. Along with full service history and a few spares. The aim is to get it up and running and use it locally until the summer where I'll strip it down and restore it. These things seem to fetch silly money for some bizarre reason..
Anyway. It's another project to add to the never ending list!
Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut that connects the handle bars to the saddle.

For the avoidance of doubt and for the benefit of my wife, not everything I may say here will be absolutely true I may on ocassion embellish a little for effect.
That said when it comes to motorbikes, I like to ride side saddle with a nice frock

Nice find Will. There is a real scene for these in East Yorkshire along with the 70's mopeds, Raliegh Runabout, Wisp, Puch etc. You are right they are fetching good money too. Look forward to seeing the progress.

Is that because they are still considered a daring and advanced form of transport there then

Possibly because they're the about cheapest way of getting from A to B. Well without having to break into a sweat or worse.
Don't put off 'till tomorrow what you can enjoy today

Yep that's about it - we've got that new electricity stuff now too and someone says you can cook your dinner by lighting the gas from cows farts but I don't believe that.
