Thanks for your kind comments fella`s.

I think it has been restored in the past but not had too much tlc since

"CHiP`s", yes you guys must be too polite as family and friend have given me a little abuse over it, and it`s lovely old police handle bars .... remarkably like a "wheel barrow"!!

I`ve only covered about 150 miles on it and recently changed all the oils. It`s given a good weekend over here this week, so hopefully get out on it, may even do a lap

It`s certainly not a flying machine, nice heading over the mountain at a steady 60mph, any more than that could be scary I think, and the front brake is shhh.............ocking. There is a web site about these bikes called "this old tractor" and I understand why!! Needs a couple of bits doing to it and a little detailing but want to enjoy it first while the weather`s still half decent. Good to hear from you all, thanks again, PONCH ......oooh, sorry ... Steve.
