    I haven't had a bike for 15 plus years . The last one was a ZX9R so this one will be a big change in pace but now a little older I am very much looking forward to the whole two wheel experience again .
    Its a 1969 T120r import a year younger than myself , its complete basket case so will take a while to get the wheels spinning again.

    Welcome, Tibster.:)
    At least your basket case can be sorted out - eventually.
    However, the basket cases that inhabit this forum are - mostly - totally beyond redemption.:confused:
    Having said that, they are friendly, knowledgeable and generally quite helpful, and they do like a nice rebuild story to follow when not playing with their crayons.
    I once had a '69 Bonnie and, if the rose tinted jobbies aren't leading me astray, then, when completed you will have a most excellent (and valuable!) motorcycle.:cool:
    Enjoy!:grinning:

    Hi n welcome, enjoy the restoration. Avoid repro parts as most are rubbish and refurb as many orig parts as you can.

    Very hard to find part, UK jumbles are your best bet or US as last resort :-(
