Most VT's are now getting chopped or triked, so I'm pretty determined to keep a couple of them standard. The bits parts wise are: Finding...
The plan is to eventually rebuild the donor/spares bike too, but I'm concentrating on the rolling restoration first. Once the donor bike is...
I cut up my credit cards, got in a right mess with them, just have one debit card now so I can't spend what I don't have! I guess it's worth...
