No I'll leave the starting to someone with better legs than me. I'm not 100% sure, but I think it might be going to a private collection in Poland. In which case it will remain free of oil and petrol for now. Ron
Yes Rik, but I just built the basic bike. The new owner will have to add the flashing lights, white wall tyres, studded leather bags, handlebar tassels........and of course the obligatory sy--reen that won the war! Ron
I was at your place when it was a pile of bits Ron, and over what seems like only a few months you've finished it. Excellent work, and I feel quite ashamed I'm still trying to sort out problems with my 16H and haven't got to bolt anything on the frame yet
Well I must say, it was a lot of work. But I don't have a proper job any more, so I'm not hampered in that respect. But the big bonus was that the owner of the bike gave me free range to order parts as I needed them without any concerns over cost. Most parts for these are readily available from UK, Germany or USA.
Also the engine was already professionally re-built at a cost of £5000 before I even saw the rest of the remains. Ron
