Title: Cafe Racer project bike
Post by: StumpyDave on August 17, 2012, 08:44:57 AM

What started off as a winter project got heavily delayed.  Mainly because it got cold in the winter I I'm too soft to work in my garage when my fingers are going blue.
Then I managed to find a lot of other excuses to keep me occupied.

However, I have finally pulled my finger out and got it finished.  Just got the MOT (UK road safety inspection thing for those not in the know) and applied online for tax and it is now road legal.  If the rain would just stop I'd take it out for a ride.
