Thanks are overdue from Lazarus
« on: May 11, 2024, 03:53:12 PM »
Many of you have followed my journey with my 500 four named Lazarus. He is now roadworthy and undergoing final fettling and still resisting but gradually getting there. Was just thinking I would have not got here without the help of this forum, if only for the encouragement and banter! Lots of you have contributed spares and advice over the last 2 years, Nurse Julie and Graham with parts and machining work, Bryan who supplied stuff at low cost to help the budget, and many others with bits along the way. A big thanks also to Oddjob (Ken), no longer a member here but donated lots of engine parts to the cause, a star! So a big big thanks to you all from me and Lazarus, have a great day.
regards, Mick
Love the 500 and 550 have a 500 called Lazarus under restoration

Nicely phrased Mick - when I look back at your starting point it's brilliant work you have done on what was definitely a dead bike, the CB 500 lovely bike , that bike was no more, it had ceased to be, destined for that bike yard in the sky.

Arise Lazarus now alive again ;D ;D ;D
