Hello Ian, really pleased you’ve joined. Still the ultimate restoration story for me. I remember you going through a phase where you considered selling but NNR is right where she should be.

Thanks lads, I appreciate all the kind words! I was tempted briefly but really glad I didn’t part with NNR. I’m looking forward to the drier, warmer weather ( aren’t we all) when I can get her out and about. There’s no doubting that finding and restoring your first bike is very special, especially such circumstances. That said there are many great Superdream restorations going on all over and I’m just pleased that there’s still interest in the old SD. As has been said before, they weren’t particularly good at anything but they weren’t particularly bad either they just did what they were asked to do and for a 17 year old back in the day, they offered big bike looks and acceptable performance for a novice rider. I know many of us moved on to bigger, faster bikes when the novelty wore off but they still occupy a special place in my biking history and I consider myself extremely lucky to have found my original bike. It goes to show that they are out there, but it helps if Lady Luck puts in an appearance...

Hello Mansell .,
good to hear you are well and still have NNR
As with the Sd there is still a few of us still around keeping going and many new faces finding the enthusiasm for their new projects.
All the best Graham.
