888 Resurrection

Discussion in 'Newbies Hangout' started by mystera888, Mar 28, 2020.

  1. Hello from Aberdeenshire.

    Encouraged by some of the recent posts on here, I've started work on getting my 888 back on the road. Here she is in July 2005, when I found the crank to be damaged.

    Since starting a family and moving house 10 years ago, she has languished in the garage, mostly hidden from view under stored crap. I still have the beemer on the right, it being rather more reliable.
