Love it.

Welcome! That bike looks brilliant. Did you acquire it in that condition or have you spent some time polishing her up?

Hi
I bought bike in this condition, rear drum and spokes are dull but overall is not bad.
Tail light electrical problem developed couple days ago, I will start separate thread about it in relevant section.
I bought this bike as a base for project similar to my previous bike Suzuki GT185 but is too good to chop it.

Cheers

Yes it is. I'd expect a lynch mob to assemble rather quickly if someone saw you grabbing a grinder or cutoff tool  ;)

Purely as an FYI, there's a sister-site of this forum for the UK members. Might be a good resource for making acquaintances local to you.
