Yeah 1970's frames look really puny compared to modern stuff :lol:
I replaced the bushes and zinc plated the tubes on my engine when I restored it.

Stunning!!! I'm very envious :D
Look, my paintwork hasn't got "Fish scales" :x they're "Dragon scales" right!!! However, after some thought, I will accept "Black Marlin" or "Swordfish", but definitely not "Haddock" or "Cod".

Tell me about it :roll: I've spent so much on buying old bikes, restorations, new bikes and parts and rallies/shows over the last 50 odd years, it's scary.

But if I hadn't think of all the fun and mates i'd've missed out on :D

Including Alan H ;)
