Hawkwind? Nah, I was more of a Stranglers & Clash man meself lol.
Havent ridden it yet, but, it looks like I've bought a bargain. Needs a front tyre & some cosmetics, but I dont think that the bloke had washed it since he bought it in 2007. I have used 4 buckets of wash & wax. a toothbrush & a full can of wd40 & she has cleaned up fairly well. We have a steam cleaner at work, so will give her some serious cleaning this week
All that is left now is to give her a go :)

No, nothing at all. No oil leaks, nothing out of place :) The bloke hadn't checked the oil for a while, it's taken about half a litre, got no smoke or any rattles when the engine is running. Keeping my fingers well & truly crossed
