Having stripped NNR down to the frame and bagged and although not quite catalogued, but organised everything NNR's frame and Blacks were off to the Powdercoaters..
I suppose it was at this point that I made the decision to produce a showstopper rebuild, up 'til now I don't think I really knew what I was going to do or how I would tackle the job. But with a shiny frame It seemed the only thing to do, essentially I was going to recreate that experience of 30 years ago when I took delivery of NNR brand new from the showroom in Leicester. I remember that day well, it was a cold January morning when my first "proper" motorbike was delivered. I was 17 and she was unloaded from the trailer of DC Cook Motorcycles Melton Road Leicester. I couldn't have been more excited.
Here's the photo of her back in the day with one or two period accessories!
Note the "Invader" fairing and Mk 4 Cortina in the background, if you know your caravan,s that's a Bailey Mikado I think!
