Hello there CCM types!

Always had a bit of a thing about big singles so finally got round to getting an R30. It's a bit like me (getting on a bit and a non-runner) but (unlike me) I can pretty it up and make it run.
It shares garage space with a couple of ancient Honda 90s, a nice CB1300S and a 70s Triumph Spitfire. Oh, and a grotty BSA from the mid 60s.
I've had bikes constantly since passing my test a week after my 16th birthday..........in 19(whisper it)70.

Nice to be aboard - looks like a fun site!

Hi Pete and thanks for that.
I'm in Corstorphine and could do with a wee bit help please.
My bike is missing the headlamp and clocks so I'm hoping once I source the bits all the wiring will make sense. The ignition barrel must be housed in there too?
Cheers,
Norrie

Sadly I'm now using the 'Welcome' bit of this fine forum to say 'Cheerio'.
Before (just before, dammit) I had time to finish the R30 the police came and took it away as I'd inadvertently bought a nicked bike.
At least the previous and rightful owner had the chance to get his bike back but it was a bad call to take. I was on holiday and my daughter called to say the police were demanding entry to my garage and when I returned it was gone! Lost a bucket of cash and unlikely ever to get any of it back, but such is life.
All I have left are the clocks (wire wheel, 1.848 ratio) so if anyone wants them.....

Thanks for the kind words.
The seller has gone to ground which just goes to show that if something appears to be too good to be true, it usually is just that.
Anyhoo, I feel confident that the speedo, rev counter, bracket and harness will bring in thousands of pounds and I'll walk off into the sunset carrying a cold beer. Then I'll wake up and bung it on Ebay for fifty beer tokens.
