Just joined as I have decided after 30 odd years of being bikeless.

In the process of buying a couple of xs250's for restoration.

Last had one back in 1978 which I bought new and passed my test on.
Lets hope I remember how to ride. he he

Well.

Both need work, but I am not sure about the US custom, looks weird to me...he he he .

Bit more of an update on me...

Started riding at 12 on an Ariel square four combo.

rode a 650 panther (ilegaly at 16), then the usual run of bikes.

NSU quickley, CZ 175 trail, Francis Barnet Falcon, XS250, Honda goldwing, Honda cd 175, cb 250, Suzuki GT 550.

Then cars,wife and kids, the usual.

Both have been in the possesion of one man for the last 35 years,kept stored in a garage.

So I am hoping that they will both be back on the road soon.

Just awaiting delivery.

That US custom is just screaming out for some longer front forks and a 70's chop paint job. he he he

:welcome: try and get a 400 top end at least as the 250 will be underpowered IMHO.

that wire bike reminded me of the bosozoku bikes 😆
