My XT500C - on the road again

I have been rebuilding / restoring one of my XT500's for the past 18 months and have finally got it back on the road last weekend. I just need to get the final stage muffler and a few other minor bits to finish it off.
Some of the collection, the XT500C, my XT500/SR400 Street Tracker, my TT500C, my XT500C Road Trial / Enduro bike, my SR500E and my SR500 racer. This only half of the collection, my SR500 cafe racer is currently on the bench for some work, and I have a SR500 bobber project, a XT500 Motad project, a XT500 Dakar Replica project, and another stock TT500C also lurking in the shed wait for those two elusive items, time and money.

Mezo.
At the last count I had 64 bikes in my shed, not including a few parts bikes.
Yes, it is quite a large shed.
Yes, the other half is VERY understanding.
Yes, I probably do need help from a psychologist to deal with some sort of mental illness.
By the way, all of the bikes pictured were built from parts except the TT500 which I bought as a complete bike in very poor condition from my best mate / sidecar passenger in the late 1990's.

A shot taken about 18 months ago on one of those rare occasions when it was almost tidy and there was room to move around the bench.
