Hi all, my first post is a loud SHOUT of joy, "YESSSSS!":
still haven't heard it run, never mind ridden it, but next week, when it arrives....

Nice example of a very early, fastest colour Sb6
Is it a manx bike or did you buy it from the main land?

it's a manx bike but apparently it's been in pieces for a while before being rebuilt (dave hagon has been mentioned as having something to do with it). I'm still trying to piece together its history.
I'm in Douglas but the rock aint that big..!

this is where the affair begins...
These things (and many others, one suspects...) I need to know!!
Front sprocket?????
Side stand???? 
I expect the worst, my Buell has taught me that!

Ahhhh, don't worry about a thing.....
Your SB6 will never wear or break and will never need anything doing to it
Now, Keep repeating that until winter starts

Thanks guys, still can't see what could possibly go wrong... have just been into the garden to plant the magic beans I was sold down the pub last night (they grow into a money tree you know..!!) 
It's getting delivered next friday so have plenty of time to break down, get counselling and begin anew with optimism and a spring in my step...
