Look what I got!

ah so I've been lurking around here for a fair while now. Quietly observing and not saying a whole lot until my moment came to shine

after much dawdling I sold my '76 CB550 during the week in prep for a big trip this summer.

took a wee trip to Manchester Saturday morning and came back with this....



hurrah! I've joined the club! well smug, and it sounds like nuclear oblivion!

now just gotta contact the famous spanner man to get him prep'd for a trip to Shcandanvialand. (I've been informed by the previous owner Sandy that the bikes a dude called Digger!)

many thanks to those selling SV's who got back to me over the last while and best of luck with the sales.

But it's Ginger...






enjoy

Nice looking bike mate....well done and welcome to the club!

Ah - the best colour

Ah, so that where Sandy's bike went. How's she getting on with her VFR?

Welcome, btw

It is a pointy!

Welcome to the joy of SV ownership.

Straight away I thought that`s Sandy`s bike... best of luck and hope you have good fun on Digger

oh i will. pure delighted with it so far. my ears were ringing like crazy by the time I got back to London. I've put the baffle in as it still sounds great and quite loud w/out being a hazard to car alarms. Now i can concentrate on the sheer joy of throwing it around. rides so much better than the cb which effectively had bicycle tyres! still it was cool to go vintage for a while.

So, are you bringing Digger to Soho sometime soon?

Enjoy it, but wear earplugs unless you want that ringing to become permanent.
