Not too far from home for you to collect it, I hope this one is actually screwed together properly. -- 03 GS500K2 76 Honda 400/4 project 78 Honda 400/4 in black 06 Sukida SK50QT (Slanty eyed shopping trolley)

That is gorgeous. And correct, AFAICT. Pix are a bit small.... I'll watch it, anyway. Oddly, decent bikes don't seem to be making the money they were, or perhaps there's a lot of tat being offloaded (cf: the ones you and I bought). I've been out on mine today. Got it MoT'd and took it to work. Had two people (one on a bike, one in a van) tell me it was lovely. Which it is. :-)) -- BMW K1100LT Ducati 750SS Honda CB400F Triumph Street Triple Suzuki TS250ER GN250 Damn, back to six bikes!

I think maybe the recession is biting and garages are being turned out for saleable bikes. The people who are running out of money are typically toward the bottom of the heap so their bikes are not the best. The black one is starting to look a lot better now that it has seat rivets and a seat strap. The side panels now have gold decals and I have all of the bits to return the headlamp mount area to standard. Black and gold may not be correct but it looks great. A few more weeks and it should be nicely fettled. -- 03 GS500K2 76 Honda 400/4 project 78 Honda 400/4 in black 06 Sukida SK50QT (Slanty eyed shopping trolley) |
