Hi from rainy Leicestershire.
« on: October 27, 2015, 11:20:34 PM »
Hi folks,
Just bought into grubby fingernails again with a CD175, looking forward to riding it, some tinkering and generally owning a bike nearly as old as me.

Cleared up this afternoon, fingers crossed for a good lunch time as I ride her back to Leicester!

This afternoon was quite decent when the sun came out. Hope you made it back in the dry.
Where are you in Leics?

Forecast not looking too good for the morning but clearing up around lunchtime so hopefully you will be lucky.
I'm in Enderby.

That looks a well sorted out machine.  I bet you get lots of interest when you're parked up.

I was planning on spending less on the bike and leaving a good budget for the cafe conversion myself, but when this came up and I went to see it, I was happy that the work done is a good standard and there is still enough for me to tinker with so I went with this bike.
I'm sure it will turn a few heads on the Sunday afternoon pub run! I have the same thing when I go on bike ride outs on my bamboo bike.
