Got my first bike at the tender age of eighteen, a 150 James, slowly worked up to a BSA A65L
(my pride and joy). Unfortunately disability forced me to sell it on as I just couldn't start it. I needed something with an electric 'foot'. It came in the shape of a CB750 hardtail old school chopper which is now an ongoing engineering project.
Finally found a '79 XS650SE locally. Engine now nearly rebuilt following the replacement of the broken 3rd. gear pinion... The story continues. Stay tuned.
