This rather nice GT750 was on the stand with my Seeley Honda 750.

"Rather nice"? I'd love to see your definition of a well sorted and well presented bike then :lol:

Hi Mike,

The show was packed with "rather nice" bikes :D . The bikes of the rosette winners are far beyond my level of patience and preparation.

Cheers Geoff

Hey Geoff,

Those shows are a mixed blessing aren't they. On the one hand they inspire us to aim high with our restorations but then (simultaneously) make most of us feel woefully inadequate.

I do love just standing there admiring them though :up:

Hi Mike,

Yes, the top restorers really go the extra mile. One of the guys on our stand got Best Japanese with his Kawasaki A7 Samurai 250:

Nut&Bolt perfect.

That's my Seeley Honda 750 in the background

Cheers Geoff
