Calling Johnakay ...

Post by Craig380 »

I was browsing an old C&MC from 2005 the other day, and what did I see? Your 'show us yours' with your green & white T500 in it. I can scan if you'd like to see it again :)
1976 GT380 - wounded by me, and sold on
2006 SV650S - killed by a patch of diesel and a kerb in Feb 2019
2017 SV650 AL7 - naked and unashamed

Hey John,

Just thinking about you. Went with a friend to pick up a 71 T500 this past Sunday and and the seller had a titled '72 frame and matching engine he threw in for a few hundred more. Not sure if you have an interest in a Titan kit but I'm fighting the impulse to see if I can find Rick Brett and Mid-O and get him to drop this at your place! :twisted:

well thats kind of you jim.
I don't think I'll ever get another two stroke.
got to admit I prefer the 4 stroke now.
Rick seems a canny guy but a bit pricey for me as all the old T500 even the GT500 are fetching silly money here now.
5,000 uk pounds for an old bike ,I'd rather buy a newer and better bike for that.
