Nice paint job.

I'd be afraid to ride it.

That's the advantage of restoring your own bikes
Similar level of finish on my 61 Cyclone, but I can repaint it again if I need to - I've got lots of paint left over in sealed bottles.

I've done 1023 miles on the cyclone and haven't dropped it yet.

Yes, that's a lovely job too. What's next I wonder - "stiff breeze", "severe gale" "storm force 10"?

“Bit blustery out, think I’ll take the car instead”?

“Bit blustery out, think I’ll take the car instead”?

Or maybe "a gentle gale from Perivale"

Historically Holdsworth went with "Sirocco"
before they realised the spelling was wrong and introduced the Whirlwind

Nice but well overpriced, by about 50% I reckon. This one I passed on for £50 - it needed a little work on and a new lick of paint though

You are right, I agree with you.
