.....more than me?!

genitals cut off...

could be worse...

That brings back some memories seeing that Chopper bicycle 8) Not something you see everyday now, good job, well done :thumbup: Chris. Thanks Chris...The amazing thing is , since I bought it(after seeing it on display at a friends 1970s themed birthday party) ive discovered people are as passionate...

That looks nice mate. Are the gears missing or is it just the shifter? Should that model have the T shift or the knob? :thumbup: Thanks...No, not missing, whilst assembling it I noticed a problem with the wee orange gear indicator square you probably remember, just one of the little jobs I have to ...

me and my brother both had choppers, we used to play a game called cut ups, where you had to ride across the front of each other knocking the front wheel out of line and hence knnocking the other person off their bike, it was great fun, also 2nd gear would slip and you could bash your knee's and an...

Would also love to see some pics of your SL Marko, a fine looking bike, IIRC they was a resto on the SL in Classic Mechanics Magazine a year or two back, have you got it?

If not, I may be able to dig it out for you.

Rebuilt this, purchased a couple months , took some time to get the metal work up to near half decent standard and had the frame/seat professionally repainted and restored as they where in shocking condition.got a few jobs and parts to do/obtain.Same as my first one circa bac...

Certainly is...Well done mate, id imagine family and friends are over joyed too.

all the best.

Omg your bikes nearly made me have a trouser moment. I've had a host of 2strokes over the years, spanning back to when I started riding bikes at 16. My list goes like this honda mb50, yam rd80lc x2 first one got knicked, yam dt50, yam tzr125, suzuki rg250 gamma (after passing bike test), honda nsr2...

Really nice collection Podman! I have a feeling the next addition to my fleet ought to be an 80's stroker. I have fond memories of riding a mate's 350LC, and enjoyed a brief ride on an NS400 once upon a time. Now thats one bike I would like to own again, I had 2 x NS400s back in the 80s, my friend ...
