Looks very nice and shiney.
I'm a bit busy so you'd be welcome to pop over and give the falco a bit of spit and polish.
I'll supply the beer. You might need to bring the water though, it's a bit scarce here.

Back in the day, "tractor" tyres were all you could get, They did nothing for the already entertaining handling of seventies so called "sports" bikes. If anyone knows of nice modern sticky hoops, 19 inch front and 18 inch rear 100 and 120 width respectively, with an 80% aspect ratio and a "V" rating I would be delighted to get some.
Until then its period cross plys, flaired jeans and Addidas trainers
