newbie from sheffield
« on: February 28, 2012, 03:39:59 PM »
hi all,
a very new builder from South Yorkshire, got my self a CB250 that was real hammered and tried to learn the art of building, gone pretty well and coming to the end of it now, just finding problem after problem, hate electrics too!
hopefully it should be finished soon so then i can get a new project, something like a 500-750.
thanks

This is the perfect place to look for projects.  We all have too many and are unlikely to ask as much as the chancers on eBay.

Welcome, by the way...

A little Northern thing going off me thinks!

I'm just off J28 M1 and often up at my outlaws in Wickersley. And yes I too have an ongoing 750F2 / cafe project!!
Its still stalled at the "I'll get round to that one day".
