Now, in the past, I've been quite a keen motorcyclist having a varied selection over the years but this definitely takes the biscuit for novelty value.
I was watching one on ebay but was outbid so go in touch with seller who had a few more available and we struck a deal on this one.
Now, as you can see, it's not in the greatest condition....
But, it is mostly complete which should make the resto a bit easier.
So the first thing to do with a restoration I guess would be to take it apart as much as possible
The only trouble seems to be knowing when to stop .....
Don't worry, there's a load more where that came from..
Then it was time to do a bit of shotblasting
Which revealed that the metalwork is actually in very good condition indeedy. The only major problems are the piece in the top right of the pic had cracked sometime ago and been repaired badly and the rear of the front mudguard has a split which will need welding.
However, see that rear mudguard a few pics up, how about this for a restored item :D
That'll do for the first post, but I have more to tell....
