The bike (B25) is of shared ownership between me & my dad - so ive had a word & he would like to get it sold as soon as poss but im happy to wait 6 months - so what i'll do is, put it up on ebay @ a fixed price / buy it now & if it doesnt sell for that amount (around £1200 on ebay) then i will keep hold of it & its your in 6 months for £1000 if you want it.

I will get some pics taken of it this weekend & send them to you - it would be a great bike once restored.

SNAP!

my dad paid for the bike and im doing the graft!

all the bike is now apart bar, the forks front wheel and swing arm off the frame.

ive worked bloody hard today covered in oil, skinned knuckles, gotta get my hear around these imperial/AF threads and heads!

Your soon get the hang of it pal, ancient bikes are dead easy to work on. Atleast you had the pleasure of taking yours apart, mine was disembled by the farther inlaw and then left on the floor of a garage for 2 years so i reckon im gunna have fun putting it back together!

Looking forward to the pics Rick

no progress on this yet buddy, as i have been away from home but when i return ill be boxing up and putting this and the nc30s further updates on hold for atleast 6months, im probally just gonna do the usual winter over haul of oil change etc!

Gunna have to get funky lid to go with these

ive got a real german helmet you can borrow

Shit, no progress!
Oh well, they wont be going anywhere - ive got an 82' yz250j model that was started being rebuilt 7 or 8 years ago & ive still not done it - ha, ha!

& seriously, a shitty helmet? i think there is far more comedy value in going out on a bike like that, in full armour, leathers & a proper helmet.
Ive been out on many a 50cc scooter like it, people stare & i love it.
