Yea I know that's why you should be selling me a 3-hole rear guard for my 500 ! Ken... BTW sorry about the QPM mixup but at least it got your juices flowing. I saw the guy on Saturday I know from York at Stafford who bought the last stocks of NOS parts when they closed including an unregistered 750 1970 frame... how long is it since it closed and he's still selling the stuff off !

Nice price on the F1, saw one on fleabay a couple of days ago in original condition £1.601

Well that depends Graham : If the value of a restored bike like that is based on yours & James's estimates of what they are worth (i.e celebs and high rollers 'champing at the bit' to buy 'em if they are the 'right UK bike') then NO I don't agree provided it was restored by an enthusiast rather than based on commercial workshop rates... If you go on the Ashimoto 'real' guide then yes they MAY have a bit of a money pit on their hands. It really depends on whether the mudguards are re-chromable and if the engine really is such a low miler and the oil has been changed at the proper intervals. What was off-putting was the non-standard pipes but even if it had the original pipes and they looked good superficially you would probably have had to bin them anyway given the age and probable unseen rot but paid even more for that bike. Just my 2p for what it's worth :)
BTW ..if you look at the red section on the tacho ..that looks pretty unfaded to me so perhaps the mileage is bang on correct.

It's 120 miles away from me Steff. I got there about 9:15am and had to wait in the queue for 20 mins but overall not too bad. I always tell myself ...'not again' but continue to go ...it's a good place to meet up with kindred spirits you wouldn't normally get to see. you could argue that there isn't the NOS stuff there any more but it's pretty much dried up everywhere now for our bikes.

Went Sunday. Got there soon after 10 and 5 mins queuing, then in. Would imagine Saturday all early birds after best pickings. Layout always a bit samey but usually interesting.

I went Saturday, got there about 9.45 and walked straight in. Learned the lesson from last year when they were lining up at the gate from 8.30. All the fuss about the Bonhams bike, I cant believe nobody else spotted the rough K0 on the outside back lot. Was hoping someone got a price for it as I couldn't find the stall holder.
