if alive i wonder if its still got the original rear grabrail with a tarmack scrape through the top left where it had been down before i owned it!...ive still got the original purple tail unit which i changed because of minor scratches from the same spill..i payed£49 i think from harvey owens walworth SE1...funny thing is the original looks very good now really up on the shelf!.

It still might pop up again - some bikes spend ages waiting to be fixed/restored.

Roger's Damien 666 spent the best part of the 90s as a bench support in a friend's garage

Reminds me - Robh1f - how's the H1A restoration coming along ?
Must be nearly there now - you've been working on it for 30 years !
