Unfortunately it died. The frame had been chromed when I bought it in 1980. when I started a resto in 1999 The frame had been eaten away from the inside. In places all that was left was the chrome!. Sold in bits to fund the Zed.
Tank had gas in the front & oil in the rear. Made for a sweaty ride. Handling was superb. I grounded the exhaust on a regular basis. Took my mates girlfriend on the back, very cosy, scared her to death tho'.
