Amazing job Andrew, like i said to you, it was put away running, I could not use it as I lost my sanity along with my houses and marriage,  I am surprised I am still alive Tbh, it was stored in a warm garage, so other than fuel I had faith it would run ok,  plate will be posted next week some time.
Pete

Oh yes forgot to say I am gutted it went, and my Rickman, but you know my story and a few others on here do as well, and when that shit happens you have to do drastic things to recover properly,  I have two 69 k0,s and a sandcast to move on as well, 2019 is a big year for me

Thanks Pete,

I've run it up again to just to listen to the sound - probably pissing the neighbours off by now, but hey!

Yes, I understand and share the feeling of the situation you found yourself in and hope 2019 is a good year for you - as I mentioned to you, sadly it all ended in pain back in August 1976 for my family. But life goes on.

Looking forward to the plate, thanks again.

Cheers
Andrew

Fantastic clean up and polish Andrew. Red gets my vote👍. Don't worry about annoying the neighbours, it's a classic after all and not a Vauxhall Astra with a drain pipe exhaust! When I start my Jota up it raises eyebrows but my neighbour actually comes outside to hear it😊.
Pete, it's a credit you kept the bike safely when a lot of people would have let something like this slide.
I want a CB750 now! 🙄
