Hi I live in UK in Nottingham, yes where Robin Hood came from, i am 75 now retired, used to have a powder coating company, my hobbies are restoration of motorcycles, although i have just finished building a AC Cobra using a 5.7 Lt LS engine that i imported from Cleveland Ohio, that took 2 years. to build, but came out very nice,The build i am now on is a complete rebuild of a 1989 CBR 600 that has been thrown down the road and needs a lot of work, my idea is to replace all damaged parts then strip and rebuild, will keep you posted on progress thank you for your help.

Welcome to the Forum Raymond! I'm north of the Border in Scotland - not yet ventured into Robin of Loxley's lands but enjoy your rebuild project
