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!

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.
