You always mention your love of bikes at shows. Do you have a bike yourself Sam or used to ? I had a number of bikes from the age of 16 up until Annie and I got hitched then the last one had to go in favour of four wheels due to our commute and not being able to afford both. After a number of years I bought a Honda motocross bike that is still sat out in the garage but I have plans for that when we build a new garage and I get a hydraulic workbench for working on the bikes. The last road bike I had I've always bitterly regretted moving it on. This was it below, bought brand new on 1st August '79 and the photo taken in about '81: Bringing us more up to date and after a long search I picked this one up in September 2016 that was registered five months after my original: I haven't resprayed the wheels gold yet as I did on my original but I have managed to obtain a "New Old Stock" chrome front mudguard and chrome grabrail as there would have been from the factory. I won't be letting go of this one any time soon. Sam. That's great that you found a bike so close to your old one even with its registration ! Well done. It looks really
