Hi everyone...my name is Mick I live near Derby/Burton and today I have just picked up my Superdream its a 1982 250 which is currently red (ish) but log book says it should be blue.
I owned a 250 Superdream back in the 80s which I used daily for work.
So its a nostalgic trip down memory lane for me.
The bike runs but is a bit tatty and needs a good makeover.
I will try to attach photos (when I can find out how to do it) as I would like you lovely people to tell me whats wrong with the appearance of the bike e.g indicators in wrong place.
I would like to try to restore it to original but am a complete novice so need all the help I can get.
Look forward to hearing from you.
Mick

Thanks Steve I have registered with Photo bucket and am in process of uploading photos here is a quick guide in case of a problem, select upload, a box will open, find the picture you want to open, select and click open, watch the upload progress, click on your photo, it should then take you to the main page, you should see your photo large, on the right of your screen you will see four choices, double click on the IMG. it should say "copied", come back here, and start your thread, then click inside the box, then right click and scroll to paste, left click and the code should be in the reply box. give it a try its easy. |

Steve, I would like to get it back to as original as I can without spending a fortune on it.
I see it as a project as I am retired and ultimately I want to take the bike over to Ireland where I have a cottage and use it over there during the summer.
