my Name is Peter and I am from Germany! I am reading this forum since a few years now - but now I will show you my latest project. "Normally" I restore aircooled yamaha-twins from YDS1 to RD400...
The Bike I now choosed as my project was first shown to German public in a Motorcycle-Magazine in 1990. A Guy had spend a lot of hours and money in this bike to do a very fine cafe Racer. I saw the article in 1990 and loved the bike imedeartly!!
Here is a pic of the bike in 1990:
In 1994 the bike crashed very hard and the guy parked the bike in a shed. He told me later that he had very serius injuries... In 2003 I got the chance to buy the bike - and I got it (via Ebay). Since then the bike parked in my shed...
