You know a while back they were as common as egg on toast and nobody took no great notice but today that is a really nice  bike and I am not a 400/4 lover
Well done
Cheers

Certainly a nice shiny example. 
If it were an earlier one in that sort of condition then maybe?
Wonder if the clutch cable guide is there :o

Im no expert but mine's not far off as good looking and sparkley as that one, and it gets a ride out 2-3 times a week (weather permitting of course!!). Moved her into the conservatory today for the winter, central heating, tv, blablabla, I  like to tinker in comfort.  :-*

Nurse Julie, I would like to ask a Question seeing you are a female member.
Lots of male members have problems with there wifes if they bring a motorcycle part in to the house. Many have problems if they put parts in the dishwasher or use the oven to bake on the paint on engines.
As a female member could you throw some light on what is the problem? Seeing that you have no problem in having your bike in the conservatory.

Personally Trigger I have never seen the problem with bike bits or whole bikes indoors, why be cold and uncomfortable working in the garage when it's -10 and blowing a blizzard outside when you can be lovely and cosy indoors. I also feel that dishwashers, ovens and sausepans are under utilised when just used for cooking the dinner and getting the dishes clean afterwards. Make the most of what you have I say.(Still waiting for someone to try cleaning bike bits in the pressure cooker though, I'm not that brave !!!). The truth now.....I live on my own these days but when married I still had his and my bikes indoors, they look great with tinsel, fairy lights and balls on at Xmas. Anyway, must move all the front brake caliper bits off of the worktop, batch of fairy cakes coming out of the oven.  :-* :-*
