After browsing these pages for quite some time I was caught by the nostalgia and sheer appeal of the bikes on the forum. This however was somewhat worrying as I have an addictive personality and like many of you can become somewhat obsessive. This obsession has been played out over the last years with Volkswagens and I certainly didn't want to become over involved or the least bit knowledgable about retro bikes as I knew I'd be in too deep (reference my good friend and enthusiast Benandemu)
So to be up front, I know very little, I'm not going to be anal or correct but couldn't resist a dabble after all they do bring a bit of joy into your life.
So I bought a non specific eBay bike locally which amongst its added detritus has some appeal. It was commissioned as a daily commuter and gradually up specced. I loved the bike and kept liking the idea of a retromod hot rod idea, it's all in my own mind if not the execution. More to follow but here a pic in a state of advanced evolution pre colour change and other bike developments
