Thanks Jeff, I can’t take credit for the paint though it’s all Kev’s (Canneletto) work.

Paul,
Prompted I had a good look through this thread. Reading these threads each post, I sometimes miss the story you get when reading in one go. It'll be brilliant when finished!
Cheers,
Mike

Fingers crossed mike I’m hoping it will turn out good. I’ve always had a soft spot for the T500, a lovely bike to ride and deceptively fast too.

More progress on Dobbin but being honest most of it is Kev Canneletto’s work. However even if I do say so myself “ain’t they pretty?” 8-)
The blue is actually a lot lighter than it looks in the pics, it was taken under electric light.

Thanks John, I know exactly what you mean. My project has stalled for the moment due to a temporary lack of funds called Christmas :?
Normal service will be resumed shortly :lol:
