Last time I referred to my Mrs as ’it’ she threw me off. That's why I never call my bikes it (rather the Mrs threw me off than the 750).

Might be an idea to get a dog.
After all.if you locked your missus in the garage with a bowl of food. And did the same with the dog.
When you come to let them out.which one is going to be happy to see you?

My first bike was one just like that in gold. FVF 47K.

Bought it for 150 quid after seeing it in the bike park at NORCAT (Kings Lynn)

Lovely to see such a superb example.

Rear brake pedal, handlebars, headlamp rim (unless a 500/750 rim will fit as I have one of those).

That 175 looks superb Rich, no surprise really that you got an award for it.......sorry to miss the Ardingly show, it was the day of the village litter pick...(and you have to be seen to attend)....so while you were drooling over beautiful bikes I was ankle deep in McDonalds wrappers and whatever crap people can throw out of vehicles.

Hope to get to the Ashford show, Easter Monday........Mick.
