I bet it's flippin' loud!

You wouldn't want to be sat at the lights too long either, unless you like exhaust fumes.

"Meanwhile, Alan Bedell used a 1917 Henderson to lop four days off “Cannonball” Baker’s fastest cross-country ride.”

Origin of the Cannonball Run?

And, I nearly always feel this with restorations, it's fine seeing what they looked like when they came out the factory but I way prefer the 'oily rag' restoration. Especially for something as aged as that - a 90s Suzuki, maybe not so much.

They did a fine job,the bike is immaculate.

It's not a thing that sets my trousers on fire though..

The blue tyres and orange seat look ridiculous.
