And drop his new bike.......................................

One less card to post this holiday season

It was the bloody straps - I let the wrong side off first I tell ya
the whole thing initially went kinda like a bad first date
but that just made have to go and take all her clothes off
and get very familiar with things

Okay so back to the Wing aka Big Mama

Seems they left the original headlight housing in place
when the vetter fairing kit was added so I can put the lamp
unit back in easy enough - tank is rusted bad - pipes are same
front and rear brakes 100% junk - amazing forks seem fine
drive boot perished - tires junk - seat f'd.

Sat I'll strip the wing right down -

Got to to find some of these for it

Hmmmm - Clubman bars - haven't seen those since the 70's.

Plenty of cheap spares for the useless/busted bits, I keep a watching brief there.

Nice find Pete.

In the sample pictures it's the black and gold that does it for me. Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside
