Been a while since I've been here. Kinda been like the movie chitty chitty bang bang where he locks himself in the shed to rebuild the car. Well, not quite but I got it in October last year and wanted her ready for the spring. And she is Very Happy

Suzuki GT380C 1978

Passed MOT the other day so I'm gonna put some miles on her Thumbs Up

This is what I had to sell to fund this resto

KH250B1 1976

Hopefully I can keep the 380 as I have enough stuff to do another KH250

Had a lump in my throat when I watched that 250 go down the road with its new owner on it. Dumbest thing I have ever done.

Heres the next one thats not started yet.

Back in the shed Very Happy

Hi Daz,

Always liked the blue with them decals but mine was the wrong year to have that Wink

I was a member last year mate but joined the VJMC this year as I now run the Suzuki. Plus saves me changing around as I might do a RD Yam one day Smile

Classic insurance is still as good. the Suzuki and my XJ600 is 68quid with Footman James.

Got boxes and boxes of triple bits at the moment but if I do get stuck I'll pm ya Thumbs Up

I dont care what anybody says Alun, there is definitely an art to spraying and unfortunately I cant do it Sad

So I can never say "I have restored them" When I have to get someone in to do the bodywork and frames, oh and chrome.

I can zinc plate and wheelbuild now though lol

Of course you restored them, you did EVERYTHING else (well probably mostly).

My dads got an RD, completely standard. It's so bloody noisy Laughing

The gearboxes are noisy too. I love them. It's the smell of it that's great.

When he picked it up I was following him on my scooter and all this blue smoke was pouring out the back Cool I was in heaven.
