Not finished yet Rolfy

The piccies were put on here so that I could "transfer them" to a rat bike site forum that I attend. Their site isn't as sophisticated as ours. You can't post photos direct. You have to have a URL.

Bruce. Couldn't see what you meant then the penny dropped.
Never really thought about it before. I once had a VFR with PEE.
EE is Grimsby.

Bolting an ammo box on a on a perfectly servicable machine and painting it in a matt colour does not constitute a 'rat'

She took Woking by storm.Load ,Proud & smoked like a burning kipper.

It's not a rat bike and not meant to be.
It's a "survival " and it's just the start of a project.
Yes it was quite servicable apart from a shagged motor and the rusty bits of frame painted with household gloss.

I had a rat many years ago, a Matchless 350 with BSA forks Suzuki mudguards, T bars, home made high level exhaust,Home made seat on a BMW base.
Did the ACU/RAC national rally on it.
I built the bike from scratch. I got the frame, log book and bottom end of the engine for ?15.
When you've done something like that and know every nut, bolt and gasket, the bike does seem to take on a personallity of it's own and yeah you do become attached to it. I didn't reallise how much until a year and a CB550 later. I tried to buy it back but the owner was restoring the Matchless to original condition !

The power washer has fetched off some of the black.
