Good morning ladies and gents,
After a few months searching we (missus' bike, but I'm the mug who does all the work) have now taken possession of a beautiful Honda Express SR. I am still unaware of it's history but finding information very scarce about them either on-line or any local/ national shops.
We recently lived in Cyprus where I was gifted a Suzuki Landie that had been abandoned in the back of a farm shed for about 15 years so I quickly fixed it up and used it for anything and everything for about 12 months before we left and returned to Blighty. Since then we have been interested in getting another bike to do a proper restoration/ modification project.
The Express SR was bought from a chap who used it for the last 15 years as a pit bike for his Aston Martin race team, and since stopping that due to age he has decided to let 'BOB' go....... and we got it
Well, here is the Landie (we miss her):
here is the new toy:
The plan is to start with getting it running well, and then upgrade the appearance (we are thinking John Deere theme) followed by a engine upgrade.
I am sure I will be pestering you lot all the time for advice on parts/ upgrades
Regards,
Glyn
