Hi all
I am a newbie, but most definitely not to bikes.
I have a couple of bikes in the garage at present, no kettle yet, but I am on the hunt. I actually have a specific bike in mind I want - a GT750B. Yeah, I know there are not lots about..that's why I want one.
I do have a Ducati Multistrada and a modded Z650C at the mo, so not desperate really. I can sit, look and wait until I find what I want ...and at a price that is fair of course. I am aware of what some ask for, what they actually sell for, and what I am prepared to pay that is fair to both parties
I have worked in the bike game since the late 70's. There is not much worth having or riding from the golden years that I haven't either had or ridden...I have done the other 2T triples (Suzuki's and most of the Kawasaki's) but the 750B being one that stands out It is an itch I would like to scratch.
I am from Gods own country of South Yorkshire
