Nice job, your bike looks fantastic and those wire wheels set the colour off a treat.
Let all hope for a long and sunny summer

Cheers

Nice, just like my old one in 78 and similar tomy 77 one i have now, wire wheels are the danglies eh, i need to get my wheels done properly, but funds would not run too redoing my wheels at the time , now a rotten rim on the honda has eaten the wheel rebuild fund so it will be a while before i can get em done, mind you i took the honda wheel down too Camelford bike bits and saw Steves brilliant 400 C last week and his work in progress FS1

Hi Dave,

I believe it was an ex police bike from your neck of the woods.
If your down for the VJMC Lymm show again we must meet up, then you can tell me all about it
