Hello all,
started my first build for 23 years today!
84 GT performer f&f arrived at 07:45 and after the joy and almost tears (for the 23 lost years) I'm ready to get going.
wanted to say hello to everyone on the site,
I will need some advice and help along the way and I hope I will make some new friends.
finding it a bit daunting at the mo'
cheers all,
jon.

Re your doomed!
tell me about it,
I've only been back on it for a few weeks and I can't believe the amount of time I'm spending on line trying to jog my memory!
My wife gets that glazed over look every time I get exited and tell her about something I've found

Fantastic f&f that mate, when you build it you will be amazed at how nice they ride to.
Take a look in the museum for inspiration and keep us posted

Lovely mate, nice 1st build that's gonna be and a long time coming! Once you get the bug that's it, soon the house will be full of all the bikes you ever wanted and the missus will go mad
I'm doing a white performer too at the mo, such lovely bikes and I intend to ride this one
All the best and keep us posted on your build...

Tis a big difference if your building as a collection bike, not as many 84s as 85s. 84 the original year of a performer (give or take some very early late 83s)
If i bought a 84 and it turned out 85 i would want a refund for sure, if you like it and wanna build a rider keep it cos they are still lovely bikes
