Hi,
I am Dave from Southampton in UK.
Current bikes are:
GSX1400 K4 not used a lot recently as the GT550 is more fun.
GT550 1974 current road bike full engine rebuild last year. Still needs work but no time.
GT550 1975 currently being restored and built. Rolling chassis is complete except final paint. Engine just need top end fitting.
GT550 1976 awaiting start of full restore.
CR250 for off road fun.
For my son a DT50MX that I am currently restoring.
And Yamaha SR125's to keep son travelling to and from work.
I have built up up a very good workshop over the last few years and now have a vapour blast set up for cleaning engine casings etc.
Nothing like the correct tool for the job.
I work for a small Satellite communications company based in Germany but I am based in the UK and travel worldwide.
I have been into bikes for the last 45 years.

Re: New from UK
You don't mind a GT550 then Dave !
I had a black one once in about 83. It was a nice smooth machine.....
Are they all going back together stock, or is there a special on the agenda?

Re: New from UK
Yes I do.
The current builds are going to be stock as I have the parts.
See what is remaining and may build one with USD forks and mono shock etc.
