Ray Coopers article

I did a short search and couldn't find anything.
I stumbled across Decembers issue of The Classic Motor Cylce and was pleasantly surprised to see a fantastic article on a lovely looking 1965 XLCH Sporty.
Read on to see it is owned by a member of the club, I'm not sure if it's been discussed in here already if so sorry for repeating but I'd just like to say what a great looking bike.
It's a article that will go in my collection of cool bikes.

Re: Ray Coopers article

Was a good article Tibbs,i put something on here somewhere about it at the time but it seems to be lost ?

I like the double knocker behind the bar,makes all the difference to a good pint don't you think .

Re: Ray Coopers article

Thanks Baz

Bikes like Rays have made me part with some folding , iv'e just bought a 72 Sporty,just love the look of those early ones,bit out my price range so i'm hoping to make this one look a bit like the 60s drag strip bikes (maybe change the seat as well )

Even my lad is getting the bug,he's just bought a 76 XLCH which needs sorting,i reckon it will go on the back burner now tho,he's just bought a bike he's lusted after for a long time,an RD 500,he's like a dog with two cocks with it,nice bike,but its a bloody two stroke for christs sake, Grrrrrrrr.

Hope this pic works,iv'e been two Hrs trying to do it,bloody work of the devil i reckon

Nice project Chilly I recognise that back garden. Where's me tea and beans on toast?

I've been passed St Nuts 4 times in the last 3 days!
