Hi guys,
Was introduced to this lovely place by an old mate of mine who goes under the moniker The Jimbonaut.
He suggested I come here to get some advice as I know sweet F-all about bikes but am eager to tinker.
I've got 2 old z750s that need work on so what better to place to start than at Do the Ton!!
I was living in Japan from 95 and returned back 3 years ago.
(Met the Jimbonaut on my travels back in 95, Thailand, Hong Kong and Japan)
I'm now in Farnborough, Hampshire working as a paint sprayer and powder coater for a sign and display company and we have a bikers wet dream of a workshop here so I'm hoping to be able to use a lot of the gear here to fix up the bikes. (The laser cutter has my name on it for starters ;D )
I'm currently riding the green one (1978) I bought it like this and added a decent exhaust and higher bars.
The Blue one is 1980 that I haven't touched yet, got it for a song on eBay while bidding for the green one...didn't think I would win the bid and did so hence got 2 now!!
The scooter is a Yamaha Majesty 400, my workhorse plus had one in Japan so it's a bit of nostalgia for me too.
Hoping to hook up with locals and also get some advice when I start stripping the green one down for a good clean up.
Cheers
