I just set it as my desktop background and it works great. Thanks for posting it.  :)

My son is in his last year of a computing degree. He scanned the two page advert, photoshopped it and tidied it up and resized it etc. He is a wizz all right and is keen to get his motorcycle license too.

Dave Edwards bike has the incorrect shock absorbers (I think for 1970), tank trim and it also has a red kill switch. Are these correct?

There were only 4 pre-production bikes made; red, green, gold and blue-green were the colors, and the blue-green puppy recently unearthed is the same one used in that original poster advertisement.

That bike was restored using ONLY nos parts found at your local dealer (and before internet/eBay); some bits were simply n/a from Honda (ie: black kill switch, unstamped pipes, etc)
