Hi All:
I’m just catching up and let me thank both Totalfool and Lakeview. This is a wonderful outcome to the sad loss of our mutual friend RobinC.
Totalfool (John) did an excellent job rebuilding and polishing the seized and VERY badly corroded 1973 engine and he also cleaned and painted the frame, battery box and airboxes. As Lakeview has said, John’s arthritis made further progress just too difficult and so he has wisely passed this treasured bike along to another aficionado.
As I read the postings since just the other day (Tuesday Nov. 19) when Lakeview and I nipped up to London to get the 1973 parts, I am delighted, but frankly, not all that surprised at the remarkable progress that he has made in getting the ‘73 TX650 up and running again.
As I have said previously, “that Lakeview - he’s a hard worker!”
Go get ‘em Angus and lemme know when you need a hand. I’ll be there in a flash!
Pete
