I dont know if this will work, as I have never used photobucket before today.

My 2004 BCR and the two Kettles which I have restored from 2 very rusty wrecks, the later B model (RHS) has now been sold to provide funds for the possible addition of a K1200R later in the year.

Stunning bikes!
The GT750 LeMans was one of the influential bikes of the early 70's
If I'd a big garage, I'd love one along with a Kawasaki H2 750
(I love the BoxerCup, of course)
If you come to any of the meets............. please bring one of the "kettles" will you?

They did - similar in the way Laverda did with the triples.

Well done, Sherlock! I only noticed that one had drilled discs and the other had solid

Blackal and Me-109, Not anymore this is not a very recent photo, the A model now has the correct front mudguard with the stays, it has the correct rubber brake pipes and the calipers mounted infront of the forks, not going to change the discs as every little helps in the wet.
Glad to see you were paying attention LOL

My dad used to have a GT550 about this time.Believe it or not, he actually used to use it as a courier bike for about a year. I think it nearly bankrupt him trying to keep it in petrol!
It was my first solo ride on a big bike.......I accidentally borrowed it once when he was out of the country.Think I was only 15 at the time!!!
I was really into bikes as a teenager. My mate John had a DT175 and he entrusted me putting new piston rings in it cos he said I sounded like I knew what I was talking about!!
Fond memories!
Bailey.

Classic
I always lusted after a kettle with the piper 3 into 1 zaust, they sounded quite unique. Managed to steal a ride on my mates while he was otherwise engaged.
I was on my way to a "do" so i was in my whistle and flute.........must have looked a bit strange.......but it was too good to miss
As the man said...fond memories
