Now then

Thought i'd introduce myself as i might be needing to pick your brains over the coming months

I'm Elliott, live in sunny Leeds (well it's sunny today)
I've just bought a 1981 R65, it seems in good condition engine might get a rebuild & back end is getting bobbed to some degree!!

See you round

Elliott

Welcome Elliot .

Start the questions, it's what we live for here !!!

I live in a desert, can't quite remember what a cloud looks like, let alone rain !!!

Hi Elliot,

Welcome to the forum, These folks really know their "65's", keep asking and yea shall receive...

I based just South in Huddersfield, not a million miles away, my 81 R65 is still in bits, but I have a glint in my eye and should be on the road again in early 2012!

I'll be starting the project this winter but at the moment looking for some replacement exhausts.

See you bout
