Like an Ex-girlfriend I think about this bike often.
Would love to know where she is now.
Sold her in 2008 to PaulB, think that who it was, she went in the back of a van to Yorkshire.
Soon after she was offered back to me but I had no funding. She sold to a man in the Yorkshire area.
Lost track.
This bike was stunning, 1993 and 11k miles when she left me. Found some pics
Anyone seen or heard about L86?
I would love to buy her back!

I've spotted a similar one round the Glossop/Snake Pass area a couple of times,
It was no where near as clean, but I'll pay close attention next time, maybe even stalk them for you if its a match [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/shocked.gif[/img]
I need a sig. indeed with plenty of frickin polish

IIRC it was regularly parked up in the main street, seven sisters rd?

Disagree
Same screen, never seen another like it, braided hoses at front
Don't forget I am the tinkering King and added Givi and a host of other changes
That is my Ol bike
Whats the reg!!
Sorry Cats, this was a N reg. Was a total loss. A chap in Yorkshire repaired it and I borrowed a trailer and got it without riding. Loved the look and feel but was soon to hate the carbs.
