New project

Post by PaulD738 »

I've been given the task of reviving my step son old YVPS race bike and converting it back for road use. He won a fair few club championships on it and it was a really quick bike. Poor old thing has been languishing in various garages for the last nine years and looks decidedly the worse for wear :cry:

Well, it'll keep you off the street corners as well as another excuse not to turn up on any of the runs, Paul. :lol:
