New to kettles

Here you can post a picture of you and your bike. Also where you are located and if you are prepared to give local kettle owners some of your time and experience.Please don't do discussions here just some facts about yourself. This was Glens idea! Thanks BAZ

I think that’s why we’re all on here Steve. Everything I say is in jest and I love mine too!
The number of owners on this brilliant forum with it’s supportive and helpful members
says everything about the bikes themselves. (and their owners)

It was sold as a 73K but unless the frame number in the ad has a typo something says otherwise

They say vin starts 22 and engine 32

I thought 22 should be a late J

I'll see what the numbers look like when I get it

You see them a lot on TR's

Either CMA or Dymag as both are of similar style

CMA are cast, Dymag are magnesium so a bit scary safety wise after 30 years

Ahhh. Use a blowlamp on them for identification then.
If they bust into flames it's Dymag, if it just melts, it's t'other 'un.

Pretty tho'.
