#restorations

For some time now, perhaps a couple of years, many towns and cities in Venezuela have seen a wave of renovations and improvements to public infrastructure. Desde hace algún tiempo, quizás un par de años,

Good evening hivers. Well the day started off with stripping this bike down to restore and repair it, you may note the unruly, unkempt grass in the background, well lawn mowers do break after all, and

Good evening. Well it is 99% done, just waiting for tank badges. Montesa cota 348. I put some stickers on the tzr 125 petrol tank. Not sure I like them now so will be taking them off and trying some others

Afternoon. So that photo above is the box of parts I paid for 2 1/2 months ago, it weighs 1.6kg and the shop charged me an insane 65 euros to ship it a few countries over. It was supposed to be 2 day delivery

Afternoon. Well it seems it actually feels good getting rid of some projects in bits. I get to help other people finish their own project & I get rid of some bikes I have admitted defeat about restoring,

Evening. I started to strip the Yamaha rd lc to restore it, but when I started I noticed the wiring is a mess and the paintwork, plus other things, and as I have a lot of people asking me for spares for

Evening. Today was all about making things fit. Re-purposing things to fit, so I used 1 old hose, cut it in half and 1 old brake lever cover and did the same, to get them to be a cushion on the Montesa

Afternoon. Another day another delivery of parts. Never seen a set of bars like these before, but as the RD 50 is a one off bike, one off bars fits the bill. With me deciding to raise the back of the bike

Afternoon. That was my morning delivery of parts plus 14 kilo of cat food, and 20 kilo of pellets for Guinea pigs. Don't worry, the large box was full of bike parts, the one on top is new rear shocks for

Well that was how it arrived in the last month or so. But with a blank cheque to write - or more an open receipt to write, and being a few £ up already, I turned my attention to detail on this one. I am

Afternoon. 3am I was up until buffing some freshly painted parts. Tzr 125 sp petrol tank, front mudgaurd and a rd 50 m petrol tank. Another reason for being up so late, and shooting some verbals with Ian

Afternoon all. I was contacted via email, a anonymous one, by some gent who calls himself simply "Jack". This was late last night. "we want a build, a nice one, something different, you

Afternoon anyone that pops by. The title is not misleading, it is as I said, but then having much of anything, can also start to seem repetitive. And so it is with my large collection of motorcycles, sometimes

Good evening. Bit of an odd day, it stopped me getting bikes out into the yard with intermittent rain. One minute sunshine, next rain, so I headed indoors to do a bit of much needed work on the Montesa

Evening anyone who stops by. Lovely day today, managed to wash 13 bikes, and my little rd 50 turned up via courier just. Managed to also start putting the Kawasaki ke 125 engine back together for the first

Good afternoon. The picture is of my latest addition to my ever growing collection of motorbikes, a classic Yamaha rd 50 from 1981. I buy any rd I can find here as they are rising tremendously in value

Hello Hivers. Well today some parts as in the photo arrived and all the way from the USA in 5 days flat. Considering I am waiting on parts from Spain for the same bike and it has now been 8 weeks! I have

Evening to anyone that pops by. Bit of a lazy day, not a lot I could do - if I had the parts yes, not much I can do until they arrive, and some have been lost in transit for weeks heading to a month. 1

Happy Sunday to you. The bike pictured was behind 8 others, so to get to it I had to take the rest of the bikes out into the yard. Nice day on and off, some cloud, some attempt to rain that failed. So

Happy weekend anyone that stops by. The KTM GS 300 is a nightmare bike to buy parts for. The chain tensioner ripped itself apart last ride, so I ordered a new old one that was "supposed" to fit.
