2 years on and another one saved.
Almost finished a few bits to tweak.
My original bike was DKL54K ,found this one on EBAY so had to get it .
Came out of the same dealer as mine on the same day 2nd May 1972.
She will be at Ardingly show tomorrow, I will be in the Abergavenny hall stall 32 if anyone wants a chat.

Nothing short of superb Rich. Congratulations on another brilliant restoration. Look forward to seeing it in the flesh tomorrow. James

Superb Rich !
James .. see if you can spot the part(s) that came off the K5 you sold me...unrecognizable almost after Rich worked his magic on them.
Wish I could be there ! Even going to miss Newark as its on the same day as my big wedding anniversary ! Going to Stafford next month though.
-

Nice looking bike in the flesh. Great to see you guys as well and putting faces to names. And getting the exhaust to its rightful home!
Call me during the week James if you have any luck.

Brilliant result. Well done Rich. She looked lovely. A credit to you !
-
She certainly looks the part! Out of interest, has anyone ever wondered why our bikes are referred to as a "She"?
Truth is, they take too much of your time, and all your money, and still give you aggro when you really don't need it, enough said! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
-
Last time I referred to my Mrs as ’it’ she threw me off. That's why I never call my bikes it (rather the Mrs threw me off than the 750).
-
Might be an idea to get a dog.
After all.if you locked your missus in the garage with a bowl of food. And did the same with the dog.
When you come to let them out.which one is going to be happy to see you?

Vincents are often referred to as the 'Beast' ..Me I have a Honda Dragon :) The CB450 I mean :)
Great result BTW Rich .. how did the autojumble stand go?
-
My first bike was one just like that in gold. FVF 47K.
Bought it for 150 quid after seeing it in the bike park at NORCAT (Kings Lynn)
Lovely to see such a superb example.

Still had the bloke asking for a K0 tank if anyone has a half decent one .

-
Still got a bit James.
Anyone want a pretty nice 750 Motad with all fittings for £80 inc post?(came off of my K2)
You can have those tank badges James if you want them FOC.

Any CX500 bits Rich?
-

Superb restoration of one of my favourite bikes, well done Rich and congratulations on the win, well deserved.
-
Have some bits Ash ,what are you after?
Rear brake pedal, handlebars, headlamp rim (unless a 500/750 rim will fit as I have one of those).
-
I'll have a rummage, think i have a headlight rim
-
That 175 looks superb Rich, no surprise really that you got an award for it.......sorry to miss the Ardingly show, it was the day of the village litter pick...(and you have to be seen to attend)....so while you were drooling over beautiful bikes I was ankle deep in McDonalds wrappers and whatever crap people can throw out of vehicles.
Hope to get to the Ashford show, Easter Monday........Mick.

Hi Mick
The bike and little old me will be there.
Be nice to see you
