Heya all,
my name is Ian, long time forum lurker, decided I should get off my butt and sign up. I write for a couple of motorbike blogs, historic & custom, and I love cafe racers.
I have a 1981 GSX250 twin that I rescued from a 10 year hibernation in a shed, and it had spent 7 years in another shed before that. When I got it, it looked like this:

Then it looked like this:
When I finished it looked like this:

Then one day my carbs started dumping fuel and now it looks like this:

Got the carbs rebuilt and put it back together. Fitted the tank back on last night, put the battery on to charge, hopefully should be right to kick over tonight,
cheers,
Blueline
