My wife bought this in the early 1980's from Moto Vecchia and rode it until she became pregnant with our first child. It went into a dry garage and has been stored there since.
The good points are that just before storing it got a full Dream Machine respray (Wee Vee) in the original livery, which is still startlingly good.
The bad point is that I forgot to oil the bores sufficiently and the rings rusted into the bores.
About 2012 in a fit of enthusiasm to put it back on the road. I freed the front cylinder and then the enthusiasm passed. The rear piston "moves slightly" but is by no means free. All the components I removed are stored ready to rebuild. The silencers are rusted through.
No V5 as it was off-road before SORN came into force. I have the pre-V5 registration document.
