I'm still trying to make up my mind on a GT550 or a Kettle as the next purchase.....the smell of 2stroke still gives me the 'orn

How did the tony foale H2 come your way Malc ?

malc87 · #27 PostAuthor: **malc87** » Thu Jul 12, 2007 9:48 pm

ive known about its whereabouts for about 3/4 years(in manchester about 10 miles away from me) trouble is in the alcohol induced mind i have i cant remember how i first got to know about it??? :roll:

! il contact dave the guy who sold it to me and see if he remembers!! he had had it since the late 1980"s ??
paid ?1900 for it then i think as he did give me the original advert out of auto traderbut i cant be assed going to have a look at it!!!
i gave dave ?1800 about 18 months ago but i did sell some of the h2c roadbike spare that came with it for ?400(a kawasaki h2c was the doner bike)
ive also swapped the j+r pipes with ktc club member "phil the paint" for the "tony foale " paint job that he has done on it. i was going to put "dencos"on it but i am now after anotherr set of j+r"s in the states to keep it as it was in "82" they are going to cost me ?400 +++

but they are mint!!

Malc I went to pick up a pair of silencers for the Avenger and the guy had the Foale frame and forks lying in his back garden,yet another of his unfinished/not started projects,so it was in to the back of the car with the stuff and off to the basement with it.A few summers ago a plan was hatched to do something with it,so first thing was to see if the zed motor would fit(was built for a 'onda),then sort out some bodywork.I see there are couple of pics of your Foale on the Tony Foale site http://www.tonyfoale.com/

AFTER 6 MISERABLE DAYS.......... I bought another ZED!!!!
