Hi all found the thread on the forum...thought id post a pic of my 'new" bike..been part of the family since 68..thought i should save it from fate..it has been in a shearing shed out of the weather.. ..heck its fun cleaning it up and replacing/ adjusting things where needed or available...and im lucky its mostly complete (the bike) but by no means is it 100%..it might never get to full resto...but ive had a couple of splats up the road and it rolls on nice.. ..this pic shows where i am at the moment.......cheers from here ..
