The expression on their fathers face for the last 4 minutes of the video sums it all up for me.

Its been a year since I last thread dredged this story thanks to mr onearmedbandit for posting it.

Always a great one to watch when you have a spare 15 minutes and need a pickmeup about life, bikes and general.

Many have joined KB over the last year and would not have seen this so sit back and

enjoy!!

I like old jawas, dont know why after owning two of the things.:lol::lol:

One I had was an old CZ 250 that I wanted to turn into a bit of a rat bike, but never seemed to find the time between work and kids, and ended up selling a garage full of bikes and bits before moving south many years ago. I wanted to do something like this, but rattier.
