Good luck with that! I did Spa on a nearly new Kawasaki KH 750 Triple many many years ago,it nearly did for me and I was young and fit in those days!
Did it on a Guzzi last year, it was hard work, but I've entered for 2016 on this.. and am looking forward to it
Randomly I was looking to build a cafe racer gs750, however circumstances changed, I just sold a rare aluminium rimmed gs1000 spoked front wheel!
Yeah,so I'm told! - problem is nearly all the bites (not from here) have either been bullshitters with no poke or picture collectors with no intention of buying?I realise it's a "niche market".When I have advertised chops in the past you would not believe the total loons and dreamers who pitch up? You wouldn't let 99% of them test drive a ride on mower!
