Nice looking bike Oldbitz2, do you know if it's a U.S. import or a UK original?

Its a US import, bike was imported to the UK back in 1990, put away and forgotten about,it still has the original Minnesota plate on it,the bike is showing 3800 miles, its all up and running with an English MOT,as far as I can see its in original condition with lots of patina!!.

The plan is to get it registered over here,and use it as is

 Great find, well done, welcome to the ADDICTION and the site. Lots of help available. There's a growing number of us in the UK but well spread out. I'm near Blackpool, where are you, pray tell.    Brian.

Unspoiled by progress.
I'm so glad I grew up in the 60s & 70s. I did so much stupid stuff and there's no record of it.............Anywhere !!

Thanks, Oldbitz2, put yourself a location pin on the Members Map, if you can get it to work. There are a couple of other owners in Sheffield/ Doncaster area as you will see.
