Hello From Stratford Upon Avon UK
« on: February 14, 2013, 02:10:23 PM »
Currently working on my first restoration project. Engine is all done (pic attached). Carb refurbish currently in progress. The plan is for my wife to ride the bike in the summer before I undertake stage 2 next Autumn/Winter. That being the cosmetics.
Enjoying it so far despite the odd surprise on the way.

Now a VJMC member. I'd like to meet up with similar minded in the area in the summer.

Hi,

Yes the 400 will be the wife's bike if she likes it. It's registered in her name. I can see I might ride it more though :). I would enjoy doing a few classic meets and maybe the odd steam rally/show.

Loving the 500 Bryan. I almost went for one of those but a bit too pricey.
