Hello Andy and Sean, Im the lucky guy who bought it igg from the Durham Groundhogs. The guy I bought it off only did 70 miles on it before he had an accident at work and lost three fingers on his left hand and couldn't use the clutch.I missed out on buying it from you when you sold it, but was well happy when I got the chance again. I did a bit of research on the forum and knew Sean had done the engine and fab work and knew you had done the paintwork and finished it off etc. I mentioned you and Sean in the spec sheet in my display at the show. I only entered it after my club members pestered me for weeks, it was ridden there and back and is ridden to most rallys. I added my little touches which is still ongoing. I finally got the carb set up right now and the engine is a beast with a wide power band.AndyS wrote:Glad to see it at a show, cant believe it won all of those awards , just shows arseing around in your garage can pay off.
I thinks it has changed hands twice since i did it, does anyone konow where abouts in the country it is now.
It was my pleasure Sean, credit where credits due as use did all the quality work Andy great paint job and colour combination which always gets comments and I've just added little changes to it still on going too. I just wanted to show it as it should be seen even though it wasnt originally mine, but very proud to own it. Keep up the good work.sean brady scooters wrote:so nice to not only see it on the front cover of this months "scooterist" mag but to read the article and see the piccys ,so thanks for the credits Ian ..much appreciated
