Big bird

Post by lloydie »

Thought I'd start a thread for it as I do suffer with OCMD so it'll get stripped and rebuilt most weekends !.

So here she is - 1998 carb blackbird , a little scruffy but with only 32k I should get over 150k from it without issues :-) .

It may be that your whole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others.

Looks decent mate :thumbup: . The same as my mates bike. The front ends are pretty sh1t stock until you fit new oil and springs.

They go like stink and are comfy for the taller gentleman like yourself
