Show us your Classic M/C

Guess what caused the dent in the tank?
Yeap you are right....now that hurt
2001 was an eventful year, written off one 1200cc Triumph, One private hire taxi ( into driver door/ pillar)/ My nuts healed eventually and the compensation bought a Porsche Spyder replica, and a newer bike
Dooh

Some of my mate Steve's bikes

here's my latest

 

[johnypebs]

not my classics....

.....but I'm sure they'll be of interest,

built by my mate Bill Kelday, guitar maker and ex classic racer. now retired from racing, because you can't make guitars with your arm in a sling. my old TBS in the background:

built for racing, converted for the road (including a nice wee alternator drive) 920cc Nourish race motor (180' crank) in a wideline featherbed. tank by 'the tank shop' but various other bits like the seat made by Bill. the unusual bars it has (for a cafe racer) are because of Bill's racing injuries.

this bike was Bill's first classic racer, now owned by Andy Duncan:

Very nice Montjuic

Love the toe and heel gear shift.

How does it sound ?

 

[Helmetbolt]

It's an SFC750. The Montjuic was a 500. I've owned two of them over the years.

NORTON COMMANDER

Yeap the only bike I would leave the GS for would be a MINTER of a Norton Commander, fully kitted for touring.....

I guess that makes me sad but I used to ride the Police spec ones.
Loved them when they worked ( so not a lot then) but I'd never cane my own as I have to pay to fix it......

Perhaps I'll buy one when I retire ( 2008)

Ahhhh one day

Getting there!!!!

Adding a touch of cafe style to my 1975 Honda 400/4

 

[Mallard]

A couple of Nortons

A few of my old steeds

My very first road legal bike Honda SS50-5 speed which later had a C70 top end bodged onto it, but didn't improve performance that much. Nice period Centurion lid too :-D

My collection of CX500s I had the blue one for 14 years.

The neighbour helped by having the handbrake cable snap on the hill

The trusty 400/4 from 1976, with my old Moggie traveller in the background

First GS

Second GS

2nd GS with the red seat fitted and dodgy topbox removed.

Current classics include totally original CX500 from 1981 with only 3000 miles from new. Needs indicators and front cowl painted, as the previous owner had a horrendous 80s fairing fitted.

Ossa 250 trial bike, which is about to be sold to my neighbour...never used it in anger for over a year
