Hi from Fife
« on: June 11, 2023, 07:05:10 AM »
Hello
 I am from Fife in Scotland. I have bought a 1978 Honda 400/4 F2 that lay in the corner of a garage for the last 35 years. It’s up and running now but still have bits and pieces to make better. I also have a Harley Davidson super glide and  a 650 Suzuki Vstrom
Cheers Dod
