    New bike

    My 'New' bike

    What a find !!!

    I just give it a quick wash to get rid of the dust and it's still got that 'new bike' look to it - even the little rubber spikes that stick out of tyres when they're new...10 years old and only 250 miles on the clock...amazing....
    ...only trouble is....it's TOO nice to get it dirty, doh!!

    Exactly what my missus said to me when I bought my KTM...

    Nice find though...makes you wonder why people buy them if they're not going to be ridden.

    Very nice - just done the same thing. You might find some of the experiences I had getting my XL600V going again after 10+ years.

    Petrol doesn't store - you'll have to clean tank and carbs if it was stored with any in.

    Transalp laid up for 13 years - what to do?
