    Hi Guys, thanks for the warm welcome this is clearly the most helpful and knowledgable forum i've found so far. I'm a new rider, first bike, restoring it, limited mechanical knowledge but plenty of enthusiasm hahaha. I'm sure you see a lot of us and we are good for a laugh (at).

    From Chelsea, Vic and appreciate any help you can offer

    My project is here:

    Welcome Ben. We don't laugh at young fellas making mistakes, because we were young once and made all the same mistakes. Feel free to ask any questions, even ones you feel are dumb ones, as there is plenty of smart heads here with lots of answers.

    That'd be ace mate! If you are ever doing a delivery run we can split shipping costs from the UK etc.
