Hi Guys,
just joined your forum as I have purchased a really nice 1969 T100S. Back in the 70s I had one and then upgraded to a 68 Bonneville before finally succumbing to a 750 Honda! The Bonnie I had (reg MRE 46F) was a very good bike for me and never caused any problems. If you own it or know who does I would love to be put in contact!
I came back to motorcycling a few years ago and bought an Enfield 535gt to get used to riding again. The roads are very different today than in the 70s and I wanted something light and not too powerful. I then bought a Hinkley Thunderbird before purchasing a 2014 CB1100 which has been customized to look like a 69 CB750. I feel now is the time for a real classic to add to my retros and so I have found a fabulous Meriden Twin. I look forward to receiving advice, experiences and reading about a bike I had almost forgot about but which is definitely bringing back some happy memories.
Cheers
Richard

Hi Rocky,
That's an amazing coincidence! Both very different bikes! I have posted a question on the classic section which you may have some thoughts on. I joined the forum to try and get an answer on sprocket sizes but no doubt as the years go by there will be many more questions. Its a long time since I owned one!
Cheers
Richard
