Wanted T500J (preferably) FOUND! Now to build a w/shop

Post by Fritz500 »

My first t500 was a secondhand "J" in 1972. I am shopping around for one. I have found a T500K (my second 500 when I was young was a new t500K) that I am about to complete off once I finish building a new workshop.

If you have a 500J and want to give it a new home please contact me. I have seen a few overseas but the shipping factor makes them not viable unless all the bits are in great nick.

I am retiring next month and need to have a few more projects on the boil. :)

Cheers

Found my next project bike. a T500J that looks crap and needs so much doing to it, but it was a bargain... The original owner changed lots of the original bits with stuff from an older T500...

3 more weeks till I retire. Yeehaa!

Retirement won't come fast enough now! It's gotta be good for your health (mental and physical) to have a project to keep you active and interested during retirement. Enjoy, it looks a good basis to start a resto from :up:

Spent the last couple of days building the new workshop. 3m x 4.5m (for those not into metric that's about yay wide by yay and a bit long). The weather is very hot so I only work on it early morning and late afternoon. Can't wait to fit it out. Then I have to move 3 bikes and heap of spares in there. I can start doing something productive in a few weeks at this rate.
