Re: interesting bikes found randomly..
On Ebay:

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/166885612847 ... dZA&edge=1
I kind of like it but there's the usual detail stuff that only factories or really good builders get right

Not sure about the gold coloured accents and engine parts, but it does look a tidy job!

Re: interesting bikes found randomly..
God knows I love both a RD400 and a retromod bike, so this should set me on fire, but it sort of doesn't? I think its the wheels and their colour, or something about the geometry of the forks? I do admire the job he's made of it though as its probably
a much better version to ride and i'd be dead chuffed to own it that's for sure! I reckon if I painted it all black I'd be over the moon with it!

I'd deffo move the plate back, but I love the allspeeds! Had them on my RD. You had to remove the centre stand to fit them and you lost ground clearance but the noise was the soundtrack of youth! Everyone had spannies round our way, even on fizzies and AP50s!

Re: interesting bikes found randomly..
I like that. I even like the R2 gag. I've stuck it in my watch list but I reckon someone else will buy it before I'm ever drunk, sorry daft enough to make an offer.

I'm 15 stone and 6'3", I love JDM bikes, I've had loads, but I look like a proper tit riding them, I'd look very silly on an SDR.ChrisW wrote: Fri Aug 02, 2024 8:08 pm I like that.
