1400 rebuild

[Bob]

It is a sad story, English bloke came to Scotland west coast, started a small shop, 2008 recession started and banks  closed him down, he went back south and didn't come back, I had k own of this bike for 2 years and eventually managed to contact him and bought it for £200, I dread to think how much its cost me but I e made over 60 Ebay purchases alone (she  counted them) but it will be worth it.

Wow, that IS  a sad story. I suppose the guy didn`t have the means to move both bikes at the time. Even more reason to get her up and running again

Reminds me of a real situation of an old mate of mine - lived alone, house in Milton Keynes, then moved with his job to Southampton. Still owns the property in MK but hasn`t been back for years......his garage contains his Yamaha collection: x2 RD500`s; x3 RD400`s and a couple of RD250`s for good measure. All were minters. All will now have a certain patina.....
