best of luck Paul with your new venture,hope it works out well and glad your still on the cossie scene as you have built some stunning cars over the years.

Lets hope you sell some of the bikes rather than collect as many of them for toys as you cars for toys

Lovely
I had a 83 IT490 up until last year but when I sold my newer bikes I also sold my old ones to a guy I used to do motocross with,he restores early 80s moto cross .Bugger for getting parts for I had to get stuff from the states.That Z is superb,one of my other mates has one which hes modified and owned for about 20 years.Mono shocked,different wheels etc and turbo charged.It was mainly built for the bulldog bash but I must say its not a patch on yours
