My 1st NC30 Restoration
Just fired up the motor on my first NC rebuild. Quick spin around the block to settle everything and amazingly I didn't die, nothing fell off and got I back in one piece. Christ I'd forgotten how slippery new tyres can be on a cold road though!
Bought the bike from a friend about 18 months ago as a non runner, that had been sat for 8 years, after he got knocked off by a friendly 4x4 driver! About 4 months ago I thought it was about time I sorted it out and here we are. Not one for the purists but, I quite like it as a one off. Pretty much all cosmetic stuff other than carb rebuild to suit new Fuel exhaust (cheap but I liked the look), suspension/brake rebuild and all bearings, wearing parts etc.
Think I have managed to post the photos as per the instructions on the site but can't get them to preview. Hope this works!







And the other one I use in the winter!

Hi Matt,
I just noticed your only down the road from me. Im not too far away in Twickenham.
Next time you fancy a spin out give us a shout. Quick blast to Boxhill maybe?
Cheers
Paul
