Harry the Bastard

#1 PostAuthor: harrythemagnum » Sat Jul 11, 2015 12:31 pm

The old girl has finally made it into the shed.
Named after the first Harris I saw back in the early 80's

Don't have the details of how its going to look yet, see how it goes with what bits comes along.

1985 sounds about right and would explain the mud on the back tyre :oops:
I had a Mk1 RS2000 and an RD400 that year, following a minor incident with a sandstone wall in the RS I spent the whole "summer" on the RD. I think it pissed down most of the time :evil: :evil:
