The Eagle has landed!

Orcade-Ian:
Well folks,
The Shiny Orange 550 F1 I bought from JamesH is now safely in my garage.  I am absolutely delighted with it - better than expected and a great basis for a very useable and presentable classic.  No doubt I will be asking for advice and help as the project hopefully progresses. Unbelievably, the original virtually untouched tool kit and bag are still in the seat compartment.  A couple of things I am looking for, firstly an original or copy owners handbook that goes in the other seat compartment.  Secondly, probably more difficult than trying to get an audience with the Pope - yes, an original (even one that's repairable) silencer!

Sesman:
Congratulations, Ian.

Nurse Julie:
Enjoy Ian.

Oddjob:
Exhaust, only if you're extremely lucky or know someone who's got one stored in a loft somewhere. Rarer than rocking horse poo.

K2-K6:
Sounds like you're going to be busy during winter Ian, certainly nice bikes those 550.

See what you mean about exhaust though, one here https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/255815793760 apparently, but at very significant cost  :o
