The KH was in dire need of rescue, anyway got it running OK did about 1500 miles on it this year, but it is currently "up on the bench" having the clutch issue looked at, might have to do another rebuild to get to the route of the problem.
I sold my 865 Speedmaster and 660 Tident that I had, the latter was just encouraging me to go way too fast, replaced both of those with a 1200 Speedmaster, much more civilised, although a 1200 it does not encourage the "hooning" that the 660 did.
Only sold the 865 as I use it to take the other half out on from time to time, and it lacked enough grunt, the 1200 is great for solo or two up.
Last purchase was a Morini 3 1/2 - everyone raved about them so when one came up I bought it, happy to say that it lives up to the reputation.
I bought the 3 1/2 to be my summer "classic" bike as going back to the KH, it lacks the grunt of the H2 and 500 both of which I have had the pleasure to own and ride.
Might sell the KH once I fix the problam, then again I might not, despite it lacking the grunt of the bigger Triples it is fun to ride, and the rubber mounted engine means it is very smooth, then of course there is the sound.
So there you have it a potted history.....
Odd story with the DT, I sold to a bloke in Leicester, he decided to sell it on again after buying an XT 500, the bloke who bought it of teh guy in Leicester lives about 20 miles away from me down here in Somerset, and he has been in touch a few times, and is dead chuffed with it.
Who needs a signature anyway......
