Ooh ahh, I do love your work!

What is the difference between a circus and the Follies Bergere?

One is an array of cunning stunts.............. :shades:

Absolutely stunning Geoff. :confetti:

So I stopped worrying and lo and behold, things did get worse!

So I now have 5 3AJ's after taking delivery of Shadwell's bike on Saturday... the bike is in pretty good nick, perfect sidepanels, the tank is straight but has a bit of rust inside, the fairing has a bit of damage on the right side.... it's been dropped on that side, footrest bent,etc... only done 18000 miles, it's actually probably the best one I've bought yet...

This one (shock horror)... will NOT have a white frame... it's gonna be a proper restoration, so no gold rims, white, red or yellow bits.... it'll be as Yamaha intended... pics to follow

I just got another one..... a local guy went into our Yammie dealer to price up parts for his Tenere (top end rattle) .... once he'd got over the shock of the prices they sent him to me..... FFS...... :bait:

It's really hard not to buy a cheap Tenere...... :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Will you all fuck off with your Tenere's..... I aint got any room left.......... :innocent:


That's six 3AJ's now......

I need a doctor.... :drugs:
