on the old forum I wrote:this is my ride :
bought from camlam complete, seized and never been pulled about with.
stripped it all down and totally rebuilt it, upgraded engine, brakes, suspension etc. but kept the bodywork as is apart from applying some Ankor Wax, which seems to have done its job. some of those patches of bare metal haven't deteriated in the 18 months it's been on the road, ridden all year in all weathers.
