Denmark sounds good, we're going to Copenhagen for a few days in August to meet some Swedish friends, it's our 30th anniversary of meeting them on a ferry.

We're all older but still no wiser as there's going to be plenty of beer consumed!

As for Zundapps in the UK, they never realy got a foot hold as a main bike and in the 70s were looked on as exotic and expnsive. The one I have is from an era when they wre even rarer on this side of the North Sea so any parts I need tend to come from Germany.

This is what I bought..

Apart from the odd cut from the above project I'm perfectly sound in body.

Maybe not in mind but....

My first powered two-wheeled experience was on the back of my grandfather's Zundapp sitting on a cushion tied to the luggage rack, no helmets of course, when I was about seven. Am I right in remembering a spiders web pattern on the saddle?

This is like the Zundapps the kids mates rode.

And this is like my kids had.
I see there is a bid on the Zundapp from a Chris. Hopefully not my Chris

Given up photographing birds since being pooped on by Gannets at Bempton. Thank goodness Pentax gear is washable!

Just hours restoring them. A huge following of such bikes here. My son's bikes were immaculate too, and fetched a good price when they sold them and all the spares.

Hopefully they spared the camper

A heron from the local heronry divebombed ours with an hour of it arriving . Guess who was out there washing that off?

Nice bike HG

Congrats on the motorhome Gwyn

I nearly bought a 20-40 recently but decided not to, now one boiler breakdown, 4 new tyres for the Citroen, aa breakdown renewal and a new built in double oven later it's a good job I didn't

The tyres and aa renewal were planned the boiler pcb and new oven were not

Regards

Been going to and fro on the old Bullet last week. Mrs Cedric concerned as it normally only goes out for the annual MOT.
