MT Riders Club

The start of what I hope will be a bundle of fun...
I found my MT500 quite by chance on a local farm



It has never been road registered, but has been used occasionally as a field bike- the guy who owned it said it had never become his main field bike because it's such a b****r to start - (now where have i heard that before?)



I borrowed a mate's cattle trailer to get it home - it looked quite silly attached to the back of my T reg VW Golf.......



Now I need to discover what the problems with it are......

Looking good Nick!

Won't take long to get her ship shape.........

Shout if you need a hand with anything - Malmesbury's not far from me and quite a nice ride out!

Cheers

Nice one mate. Let me have the vin plate details, frame number probably between 1215 - 1270. Have you got any paperwork? You can get copies from various places as you have the MOD registration number, the us easy at the DVLA. I can do a date cert for you but better to get copies of the originals.

nice one... cant wait to hear of you shin/foot peg encounters

Pete

No prizes for guessing what he,ll be doing over the bank holiday weekend

Good luck with getting the beastie on the road, and I'll look out for you. I got my first MT500 in January to use as a winter hack, and now have two and bit of the things (they're strangely addictive. It's also strange how ride home from work sometimes ends up including the odd by-way.

If you have any problems give me a shout; I'm just down the road, and I may be able to help.

Thanks for the offer Chris
I've been busy taking it to bits and am cleaning and painting just about everything at the moment. I think I've managed to source all the parts I need - thanks to loads of good advice from here.
I may struggle when it comes to sorting the electrics as I think i went to sleep for most of my physics lessons at school but I'm hoping it's all just going to work!
I've not been riding bikes for the last 8 - 9 years and was getting frustrated by the delay - so I went an bought an MT350 from Withams. (I was teaching my 13 yr old how to ride it tonight - he's a natural !) I should be getting number plates for the 350 on Monday - I guess the addiction is getting a grip on me too...
See you on the lanes.....

Great work Nick

Glad to hear all is coming along nicely
