Title: Hello From New Member
Post by: kifer on January 12, 2012, 11:55:57 AM

Hi everyone new to forums so a allot of learning to do,
I am from Chester area and have been around bikes for some 40 years, Restoring Honda Seeley 750 should be ready for summer been 2 years now, riding DR650 keeps me on the road also good fun.  Honda has been a nightmare build loads of problems. Tend to be a bit of a garage hermit My mates all ride modern bikes so no help there. Hoping to talk to like minded people here
Anybody got a Seeley?  Will leave it there don't want to get boring, Cheers All.

I had one until a few months ago. I can probably dig out the buyer's details if you are interested.

Thanks Steve ,nice paint job. Sure I have seen this bike before somwhere, Is it a reynolds frame? can see it is based on F2. You seem to have a few bikes I haven't room for more than 2 and yes it could be good to get in touch with new owner,  what part of country did it end up.
Cheers Tom..

The bike was bought at Stafford a couple of years ago. Maybe that's where you saw it.

The new owner is Ian Rowell from Burgess Hill. He bought it in May 2010.
His email is ian_AT_rowell911.freeserve.co.uk

While I'm in the mood, here's one that belongs to Andy Smith ("WestfieldAndy" on here). This photo was taken at the North Weald Sprint meeting in Sept 2006 where Andy was putting it up the 1/4 mile strip.
