Projects

i have a ccm r30 and 916 ducati both as projects just need the motivation to start

 

My 85 year old fathers project (fathers 85 the bike is a mere 65)

And my last project, completed 3 years ago, strangely I have no yearning to start another one yet

 

You made a good job of that Honda and good on your old man

 

yes he’s doing well, but describes himself as having “one foot in the grave and the other on a banana skin”, so he’s restoring it a max speed before the inevitable happens!.

 

actually.... I have one of these... bought to do up...Yamaha XS750 C (not the usual D) the one with points still

but it's at the other end of the country and no room up here to store it... so i'm still thinking about doing it rather than actually doing..

 

I mostly stick with the 63-70 Triumph twins but they are getting harder to find so have resorted to doing work for customers to keep busy for now but still on the lookout for that bargain twin to build.

 

And I’m just on with one of my free MZs.....

 

I've got a 1980 Honda CX500, which I'm putting on a weight loss diet. I was hoping to have it ready for this year's DGR, but that ship has now sailed.....again!

 

I remember being given one of those back in the day as a courtesy bike whilst my Jap 4 (can’t remember which one) was being serviced, gutless MZ I thought, gave it a handful as I pulled off and ended up on the pavement on the opposite side of the road, quite torquey for a 2 stroke

 

Yes nearly‘trials bike’ torque
