1986 - 2023. I'd love to see anyone else's. I'm going to stop doing stuff to her for a while and just enjoy the ride. It's taken me almost 10 months to get her roadworthy.

Same socket set. I have the same set, 40+ yrs old, when Draper made good tools.

Missing reflectors will be low on their cash gathering activities.

Missing reflectors will be low on their cash gathering activities. I don't know m8 I see an opportunity for some nice copper to take the bike. If moted then not roadworthy now as it's missing a reflector, what else is wrong. If self certified as moted / roadworthy then what else is wrong, and the self certification is clearly fraudulent, which in turn invalidates the insurance, this is the tangled Web that occurs in situations like this. That's how the Police persons mind works. Just trying to point out a simple stick on reflector will do. and avoid the risk.

Can’t believe people haven’t got pics of themselves from back in the day? Or are they too embarrassed? 😁

It looks like you could still fit in the same size jeans as well I certainly couldn't. I have a couple of pair of 32" waist 501's in the cupboard waiting for my waist to come back down to fit them again. I have some 'then' photos I could drag out and post but the 'now' ones will be a while.
