TrickyMicky:
Thank you for your responses gentlemen. I appreciate your comments re. pricing, but I have been brought up never to lie, although my camera had a different upbringing! That photo, plus others to follow, was taken on a sunny morning, 20 minutes after I had tormented every joint in my body crawling round with a cloth and a bottle of Turtle Wax polish. Bearing in mind that I have never delved into the engine deeper than the cylinder block, and that was about 25 years ago, so condition is commensurate with its age, ie. It still starts instantly, evrything operates as it should, but, it suffers from very bad breath without using any oil at all, and has quite a bit of backlash in the transmission. More pics and its life history will appear on the 4sale postings soon. Regards, Mike.

You've got a collection of DSS receipts as big as mine!  ;D By the way, what is that funny clock (watch?) on your right handlebar? Did you polish the saddle? The last time I did that I hit the brakes and found myself on the tank with GF doing a handstand up on my shoulders!  :o

  Bear in mind that I've owned the bike for 37 years, and if it wasn't for DSS it would not even exist. Just for the hell of it, I totalled all of those bills, and including VAT they amount to just over £2,200. Not a bad cost per year eh?

Aha! you have spotted my luxury handlebar attachment!!  After countless years of either stopping to undo jacket cuff and glove, or creeping past cars to try and see if they had a visible clock on the dash to determine the time, I mad the brave decision to splash out £8 on a piece of Oriental technology that actually works. It's an absolute pain in the a--e to adjust or replace the battery, so it's accurate for 6 months (Summer!) every year, and when the battery wants replacing, I buy a new clock.  I put one on the GB250, but as it vibrates, the clock made a successful bid for freedom leaving me with just the empty holder!!  Re. the saddle, it's a new item.
