Hi & Welcome Bear

I don't believe you have those bikes as there are no photos of them...(hint) :mrgreen:
You gonna do a build thread for the scrambler?

Sorry for no reply’s been busy, I’m a heating engineer so as you can imagine this time of year is hectic.

I found you after watching Quickies video when they mentioned you guys,

I’ve got pics of both bikes but not used a forum for years and can’t work out how to upload pics from iPad.

The XJR had a wash and dry yesterday and is tucked away in the garage. I’m actually about to go and put it in the corner out the way of the bandit build.

When you do get round to posting pic's (dead easy btw) I'm not alone in wanting to see the Bandit build - some of us like a good custom +/or resto' build.

See you on the 1st Dec ride out perhaps?

It'll be useful to see this Bandit build.
