I can speak and read a bit of german lads, thats my other interest, anyway, i was looking for one of these for a while now, seems they are getting harder and harder to find, so i went looking in das Vaterland, and lo, i found this in Nurenberg, rang the owner, had a chat. bike has been off the road since 2001. but's its complete, and original. so i did the deal. and a company called bike on board shipped it to Ireland for me. Anyway, there was petrol in it, so i chanced starting it, she started first kick! it's a bit smokey, the exhausts are very bunged with carbon, old man Horst was easy on her. i took it for a very small spin, and she ticks over lovely everything. ha! that sound brought back a lot of memories. any DO NOT DO THIS! Advice lads?

"DO NOT DO THIS" advice #1- do not go to Norbo's shop, or your bank account will empty itself automatically haha
