my wife took a fancy to it and it was cheap so its in the back of the shed for some other time. its a fairly rare ygs1 yamaha 80cc of raw power. i bought it a while back but i finally got to grips with posting pics. still not sure how to make it an actual pic though...

Open the picture in IMGUR. To the right side will be loads of options click on the one that says for bulletin boards and click copy. Go to your post in the forum and right click and paste.

That brings back some memories, I sold my 250cc AJS Saphire Sports and bought one of those from a mate at college, it was a great little bike, never let me down. That one does look a bit rougher than mine was, it should be a challenging restoration.

Surprising what turns up when the canal is drained.
Where's that 10mm socket got to?
