I've bought UK Pete's Ruby Red K1

Well, after a very short search for a decent 750 K1 I have bought UK Pete's Ruby Red, 20,648 mile, 1971 survivor and picked it up today.  It's been standing unused for about 3 years with fuel in the tank, and it's minging.  So my first job tomorrow is to empty the tank and give it a clean out as there is some internal surface rust to deal with - that'll hopefully stop my garage smelling like I've left a pair of 3 week old sweaty trainers, the socks, the sweatshirt and shorts in there..... There's a few little dings here and there, but nothing I'm bothered about and I'm looking forward to getting it started in due course, once 'normal safety precautions' are taken.

All-in-all, I'm very happy with the bike and Pete is a really decent and genuine bloke - but then I guess many of you already know that.

I now need to take some time over Christmas and think carefully what I want to do to it - in the meantime, here's a 'few' photos and no doubt I'll be picking your brains in the near future.

Oh, and I've bought my first bit for it; an OE grab rail which was missing, and the fact that I fitted it before I loaded the bike into the van caused Pete some amusement.

Ok. So it’s snuggled down next to a Z.

What’s under the red/black cover?
