A trip to the east coast today proved fruitful with some nice bits for these 3 bikes being purchased.
Period Maico front end,and wheel
Xr650 front end and wheel ,with big brake conversion,in mint condition

 

[mikeyboy]

The maico front end is pretty cool but who knows what it’ll stop like

 

[mikeyboy]

Near mint G/S tank

Plus a couple of low ratio bevels,and some unrelated airhead bits

Don’t quite follow your line of thought....
If you don’t like something, just say so- we don’t all like the same things, but you can be certain that Mikeyboy will work wonders.
Guaranteed !!

I think what Archie was saying is that with a bucket of (horse) shit, comes beautiful roses. Which is exactly what Mikeyboy does.

Takes discarded parts and frames and makes fantastic motorcycles.

I'm assuming that's what he meant, after the 45 minutes he spent looking at my new bike at the last breakfast!!!

Ah - I get it now .... a horticultural metaphor.
Sort of like “ from little acorns, oak trees grow”.

Archie's always metaphorical. He's a slave to it!

I like Shiney!

Tufty has it right..!!
'If he fell in a bucket of shit he would come up smelling of roses' All the goodies he just acquired on his little jaunt was what I was referring to. He is a wizard and if you knew me you would know that I generally say it how I see it and call a spade a spade.

You beat me to the pun..
I may be industrial sized but I'm no tool.
