the head got over ruled by the heart The misus says I've become (more) grumpy since I've finished the 500 build and encouraged me to buy the 250!
Quote 'The misus says I've become (more) grumpy since I've finished the 500 build'Oh yes, I can relate 100% with that statement Phil. I've become the same since finishing the Triton build. I always have a project lined up for winter but not this year, there's nothing out there I like at the moment at a decent price. I fancied a 650 Bros but our Mayor has killed that idea with his ULEZ charges (soon to be extended to inside the M25 and that will also kill off my VFR unless I want to pay £300 to send it to a ULEZ compliance test that it may fail!). I might look for a CB550, as they have the right amount of power and weight (and ULEZ exempt 😁).Good luck with your restoration, that looks like a very nice bike to get stuck into over the winter👍
Can't do that Graham! 'Patina' (ie rust and corrosion!) drives me mad! Its just the way I am. Its the rebuilding that I'm missing at the moment, Just got to put the ZZR250 that was going to be my next project on eBay to pay for some chromomg or exhausts!
How about sticking the ZZR engine in that ? ( steel helmet on, duck and run for cover…)
