Featured Bikes Are Going.

I like to get to know my bike so took the tank off the other day to see what was underneath (new Speed Twin 900). Didn't expect to see much but it was jam packed with wiring and stuff. The amount of wiring on a bike now is frightening.

 

Well my first proper motorcycle was bought in a deal made at a friends stage night a friend of theirs was attended Uni in the Midlands we lived down south of London over drinks he informed me that he had a 1966 Norton Jubilee 250cc in bits, 250cc was the biggest we were allowed at 17 yeas old, that I could have for £10 he would bring is down in the boot (trunk) of his car it would take a couple of trips over a few weeks so the deal was struck. Turned out the engine had been butchered but we found one advertised in a local paper for £20 it was a Pre 64 engine so the lower rear mount was different ( different gear box) but it went into the frame. The tank was leaking due to a brass bush for the tank badge screws had been pulled out luckily a dealer in London was having a bit of a clear out and I picked up a brand new only in primer tank for £3. It was not the best looking bike but I was proud of it and took me everywhere. Oh I fitted a pair of reverse cone megas (exhaust) on it and boy was it loud I loved it.
