Hi all,
I was asked by the shop who I use for a bunch of restoration services if I would like to bring my Suzuki's to put on their stand. As the enticement included free weekend passes who was I (cheapskate me) to refuse. The venue is only 20 miles so no problem.
Should be an interesting experience, never put a bike in a show before, I'm all excited .
Cheers Zunspec

My that's a nice looking Titan !!! You've done a very nice resto there.
I hope all goes well at the show. You'll end up hoarse from yakking with guys if you hang around the display.

Evening Pedro,
As the base bike is a 1975 T500M but painted in 1971 T500R colours, and probably not even T500M perfect I'll enjoy the banter with the "experts" . The first of your two categories I'll enjoy, when I'm not seeking parts for the Triumph .
Cheers Zunspec

The 500 is a peach, and is that a lovely little TS185? You don't see many 2-stroke trailies around these days.
Both of those are a credit to you, and I bet they will draw the nice guys, boring old buggers and bloody experts like flies

Hello craig,
The T500 and TS125 have previously appeared in the Restoration section. For convenience here are links to their flickr.com photo sets:

Well,
I had a great weekend, didn't win any awards and was beaten to Best 2-Stroke by this little demon
