Welcome to the forum Robin.
Very nice looking bike and a very tidy line of the silencer.

Welcome to the forum Robin.
I'm also in Lincs and here's Millie, my 550 mongrel 😁

Are you still riding the mongrel Julie and does Trig still ride his £1000 bike?
How are the CD250U's doing?

Hi Robin and welcome to the forum. Nice bike indeed, admiring the rear shocks as well as other nice features. What am I seeing behind the cylinders? Not quite making it out in the photo.

Looks like a K3 pretending to be an F2. Wrong rear brake lever is a dead giveaway. Looks ok though.

Hi Dave
Oh yes, still riding Millie, I was out on her last week, she's still so much fun to blat around on.
We still have the 2 CD250u's, they are going great. I've still got the 500K1 but not got her out for a ride yet this year. Graham sold his £1000 mongrel, he's still got the CB750 K6 which is his regular rider in the summer.
He also had 2 Transalp 650's, the one we toured around Europe on last summer, which I sold last week, and he has another one that we'll be riding down to Switzerland on in June this year. Graham also has a Deauville he bought as a winter hack, it does the job well around here on our muddy lanes.
And those are the only bikes we have left now, I've sold everything else we had here.
