Nice to see a good old fashion forum

Post by RupeeRider »

Hello from East Devon, unintentionally bikeless so was browsing and found the forum.
A courier has let me down and my only ride is still in Camborne until Thursday. And other 2 bikes sold, I’m already getting tetchy.

I fettle or should I say fiddle, basically find bikes I can add value normally a classic or retro classic, ride for a while and then look for another small project. This time it’s an RE interceptor.
