Sorry folks, in my haste last month to sort problems overlooked the basics.... So, Hi!
Before I start you'll perhaps know I've already been using the 'site, and I've just got to say how blown away I am with everyone's generosity in both time & imparting knowledge - a belated thanks.
So, back into bikes after a 30 year abstinence, and last April bought a semi-restored 1971 '750K2 - which is a work in progress, but coming along nicely. The frame, engine & tank were all professionally restored, the rest... hmm; it was though the owner either run out of taste, cash, or both. Anyways, on track to be a very nice Candy Ruby / original looking example.
Then in Nov I bought a 77 '400F; this one in less good condition & needing more attention. Potentially a little beauty, and will again, try to bring her up to, as near as damn it, factory fresh.
Nice to meet you all,
Lobo.
