Decided to sell my oldest, least used barn recently - I’ve enough dry, clean stacking space elsewhere & a local farmer is offering good terms.

So, I thought I’d pop up- to Discover everything left there is inches deep in dust / filth, despite covers? Don’t understand.....

Anyway, I’m bringing all the bikes home - cars to a better barn

I haven’t taken many pics, but I thought this might give you a flavour..

Already moved the Re5, T20, T10, T500, T250, Gt250/380/550. Lots more to go. Then some decisions to make...

Blimey it was a bit dirty! This barn wouldn't have any woodland attached by any chance? Trying to find myself a few acres to play in.

The old CB200 made an awesome wall of death bike.

A friend once almost bought a wall of death, on reflection it was well worth what they were asking for the Indians that came with it, apparently it was the one they used to have an old lion ride in a sidecar around the wall!

I do rather like the f50. Do like step thru bikes. A lot easier to get on with shitty leg.

You had an RE5? Was it running? What are they like to ride?

I do. It was running when put away, haven’t started to recommission yet; if nothing else it needs a replacement battery - the biggest bike one I have ever seen.

It’s a top heavy, juicy, ill handling lump - with a fair cross section of Gt750 stuff.
It’s over complicated, with a daft dash & ruinous lights, with dubious handling & poor acceleration ( when compared to the T500).

Frankly it’s a pig. I love it.
