My other car is a motorbike!

My other toy (apart from my T2). It's a 1978 Suzuki GT380, I bought it as a running wreck from a breaker in 1988, spent 5 years (and shed loads of money) restoring it, even won a few prizes at Classic Motorcycle shows with it. Used it on high days and holidays (if they were sunny) then mothballed it seven years ago.
Dragged it out from under its' cover at the back of the garage a couple of days ago, new battery, some air in the tyres and a good clean and away it went, starting and running on seven-year old petrol! Back to the nostalgic smell of two-stroke smoke!
Might even put it back on the road for a last fling before it goes.
