Well - the deal was done with Pasc - and the little triple now resides in me garage :twisted:

The bike was bought by a chap Pasc was chatting to - he bought it in the early 1990's and after a year or so of riding it around put it in his garage, where it sat until last year when Pasc bought it .......

LAST TAXED 1993-4

The best thing is its practically untouched/original - just the tyres and some fork gaiters.

The paintwork is very good and original too :wink:

Just need a weekend spent cleaning it up & giving it a thorough going over.

I don't intend to change or spoil the 40yr patina - its gonna remain as a nice classic in tidy but used condition :!:

That is one lovely bike
Brings back memories for me.

Nice colour scheme - got great potential!

I think if I had one now i would end up with points on the licence.
It makes such a great noise - it is slightly addictive (different to the 250) you just want to ride it flat out everywhere.

(Least - that's how it affected me!)

Nice bike Mr P. I love that colour scheme, I'm my eyes it's the best colour.

Mot and tax it and ride it as is.

Is it original or restored/part restored?

Yes they did, but not sure if the dealer filled the holder or it was factory filled.

Them holders are a bit rare too, so is the band that holds it in place!

Spent some time sorting the bike out....... # 3 choke was stuck so freed it with the hot-air gun, replaced all the hard fuel hoses, new plugs, HT leads & caps, cleaned and set the point gaps and finally the timing.....

This morning I decided to clean it up and prepare for its first MOT in +20yrs
