click on the images above to view enlarged   This is my bike as it was when I bought it in August 97. The picture was taken outside the famous bikers cafe at Sherburn- in- Elmet, Yorkshire. Sherburn is a regular meeting point for bikers of all ages and allegiances. The usual gathering days are Sunday, Wednesday and Thursday, although it is open at other times. On a summers evening it has had two thousand bikes role into the tiny, normally sleepy village. If you want to make a trip there it is on the B1222 between Leeds and York at map reference OS 105: 493/337. They do the hottest coffee in the world, good tucker and it has been a bike rendezvous since the early 1950's. Well woth a ride out. Since this picture was taken, the bike has seen a few changes. The previous owner must have used it as an everyday bike, no problem, but it was very dirty and a little scruffy.   Winter work done : Buckhorn bars replaced with standard sportster bars.
