Hey Hi Hello,
I'm new to all this but am allready in the grip of an what can only be described as an obsession... passed test end of aug and bought an 05 1200 mile 749s... took it to Spain a week later... now showing 5222 since i got back from cadwell today(REAL GOOD BUNCHA PEOPLE)... and now i'm looking to build an entry level 583DD, i've reasond with myself it'd be the best way of enjoying track riding without worrying about binning it to much.

So i guess im looking for a cheap mechanically sound ss

not scared of a bit of project

£1000-1500

Any help greatly appreciated

Good luck with sourcing a bike and there are alot of instant friends in the paddock !

Thanks for the welcome... had a look at your new purchase on Gribs site, looked like a well preped bike for the money, i even liked the flowers but dont tell no one.

Hopefully see you next year then!

Looks like i've got a lot to organise ...
