Hi All,
After posting a few pics of the bike on the Mono Register page, a few guys asked for a build report and some details so here we go.....
All started when earlier this year a good friend of mine in Belgium, Wilfred VanBalen, persuaded me to enter the Rallye des Jojo in France. This is a 'Historic Rallye' for cars and bikes held entirely in France and open to vehicles pre-94.
It is in effect a 'mini Dakar' and encourages the owners of the old classic rally cars and bikes to get out and have a go!

It is billed as not a speed event and this has allowed them to get use of over 1500km of off-road tracks across France, much of which is not normally open to public vehicle use. The rally starts in Paris, under the Eifel Tower, and ends six days later in the dunes near the eastern Spanish border.
One thing I had been thinking about for some years was the subject of an off-road airhead and this was the opportunity to scratch that itch!
First thing to do was find a bike!
Good old ebay, and this was secured!
