Man I’m glad I have my barn because I would be a single man if my motorcycles moved into the house. I was raised by very tolerant parents though. I once had a CB350 in my bedroom over the winter while I detailed it to look like new again.

Sadly, my wife passed away nearly nine years ago, but let's not get into that.
I can assure you, wonderful woman that she was, if she was still with us there would not be a bike in the playroom

GreatauntiePat has the award for most understanding wife.
Alan, I nearly bought an RD200 a couple of years ago off the dodgy Triad Van Centre bloke from Brighton, probably good that I passed it up.
Maybe I could pop in this summer on my TET trip and admire your fantastic collection.
Anyway, little more progress today, starting to look like a bike again.
Won't be a full resto, just a tidy-up.

Pete your version of just a tidy-up is way beyond what I do with my bikes. Mine look best in photos, if you know what I mean. Proverbial Perfumed Pigs they are. But I enjoy the hobby.
I would welcome you to stop by and see my collection. I don’t think I’ve ever shown them to anyone who really knows what they are looking at, yet alone understand what it takes to keep a dozen really old 2-strokes running.

Shu, that would be a work of wonder… rt1-Pete would have to engineer how to apply wings to make an old enduro fly…
I’ll be awaiting the pictures!

Having tidied up the back end, the front now looks a bit tired.
Think I'll give it a little spruce too.
Was nice to have it mostly back together and running, had a little ride up the road.
I even let Bernie (aka AGOP) have a sit on it, but he wasn't allowed to ride it in his slippers

Very nice! Well done.
That model has to be my favorite and I like the UK paint schemes a lot. Very sharp.

Wow that looks nice. Great little bikes those. Probably the most popular over the years.
