Luke AKA Tramp *Updated*

The place to socialise, and relax, if it doesn't fit into anything below it fits here, so tell us that joke, or share that story of your last off-road escapade, but remember new comers the virtual drinks are on you!

The bike looks like it came off a lot better than your leg :shock:

Almost doesn't look like much to restore it again......if you can find the parts that is.

Are your plans to restore it again? If it was me I would and I'd get back out on it! Best thing to do :doublethumbs:

Yes matey get back on it! I had a major crash when I was 18 and as soon as I got out of the hospital a friend turned up on his bike and made me ride it home. It restored my confidence, go for it!
If it ticks over...leave it

Personally, GET YOUR DAMN ZUK DONE!

Never been a huge bike fan, can't carry much stuff, get wet when it rains.

Cracking little bike. Sure a bit of tinkering and it will be fine.

Thanks yeah it was a great little bike, I hardly got to use it. Yeah I think my leg protected the bike pretty well, I was gutted about the petrol tank...... During the restoration I bought a new tank and had it professionally sprayed, its dinked behind the leg shield. The leg shields are pretty irreplaceable and they're the bit that's most damaged. I hope to keep hold of it and rerestore, then put it in the local transport museum, don't get me wrong I love riding bikes but (not wanting to sound dramatic) I almost died, luckily I didn't but only because I was young, healthy and only doing 30mph if I was going any faster I'd probably have no left leg, just a stump!

Be nice to see it restored again Luke. Can't be many of them about now.
