w00t! Knew I'd drag one of you old buggers out of the wood work without too much trouble

Try Barry Stevens-pres of the Canterbury VCC-real vintage bike nut-ph 3599-128. He should be able to put you onto somebody local.

What bits? Know a guy who has a Bushman in his woodshed, think most bits are interchangable. That's ifn' the altzheimers don't git me before I see him next...

I have a shed load of all that old crap, what do you need?

Give me a call on 521 5896

They are impossible to get parts for and are a load of crap mate... I'd give it to me before you go broke or insane...

Holy crap they're everywhere!!! I think it's only right that I take some pics, and make a parts list.

This is original nick, bit of surface rust on the tank and rims, muffler is a little dented, etc. It's best to keep it like this rather than restore it, yes?

I'd say keep it original.... Within reason but really - fill you boots - it's the fun of old bikes

Heh, not my bike, belongs to the father of a friend of mine.. his father hasn't ridden in many a long year, so he is essentially inheriting it early. Needs a kick start spline and clutch for sure, I'll probably make some new cables and reline the brake shoes etc.
