A quick check over confirmed that the chrome was pretty good and would deffo stay as a survivor :daumenhoch:

Just need some new tyres ( gary? ) and few bits to get her sorted :angel: gonna get busy with the Peek tonight.

Big thanks to RADster gavindavis for sorting this out for me after it had hung in his garage for years ... I thought it had got away but thank the maker for high air shipping costs :4_17_5:

By the way I would black out your postal address on the parcel mate. You don't want to advertise where your bike stash is! :daumenhoch:
Or recieve any dodgy parcels from some of the weirdos on here! :LolLolLolLol:
