so how often does it get ridden?
early 60s beetle for sale - ex bush basher - spares - $100 or offers
In the last few years, not as often as I'd like.
But it was my only form of transport for a lot of years. Don't think I keep it in cotton wool. Not sure whether it's on it's 8th or 9th trip round the clock.
Well my friends are gone & my hair is grey, I ache in the places where I used to play.

but got a few push bikes (road and track... I sold my MTB a few years back)
but the only one with a motor is below.
This was before I go the tank fixed (it had lots of holes in it) and before I moved to QLD.

hey sax nice bike ,sweet,what year is it,did you build it up..
cheers
I rebuilt the bike, all new everything motor, box, rims, paint etc.
It's had a few different looks over the year$ but this is it's final build.
Pipes will change depending on mood, have an original twin pipe setup
which sounds great.
Still needs some sorting before I can ride it (stuck rear brake, clutch probs etc) It's a 1970 shovelhead 1200.
A fun ride, but constant maintenance is the go with these.
