some final pics after the restoration from last year.
I have a custom made seat. I wanted to try it on longer distances this year but because of that whole corona thing, longer rides will be in 2021

Inspirational gobo!

However, some of the pics above don't seem to be loading (can only see the last one) - or is that just me?

I can only see the bottom picture, i went in to try & fix it but its not a forum issue its your end (or Google) when i copy & paste the picture address & try to go there its just the same thing.

Use the "Add image to post" at the bottom of the box.

Great job, and in case you asked yourself if it was still relevant, it is very much so :-)

I am restoring my 3AJ currently, after sitting in my garage for 17 years (target and parts donor 3AJ), or around 10 years (1VJ frame donor). I am glad to see you riding on this legendary bike, let's hope 2021 will be better for travelling across state borders.

And yes, all five pictures are loading fine, thanks a lot, and ride safely.
