Not the best of shots, but here is my latest addition to my motoring fold. A 1955 Sunbeam S8, which has been in the family since about 1965. Just taken ownership from my Uncle, so looking forward to getting out on it next summer.
The bike on the left is my CB390 project. built from a CB360 base with 70mm HC pistons to give 389cc, fully rewired with motogadget keyless ignition, dual disk front end from a period correct CB550, etc etc really fun project ! steve
Here are mine, the James 197 is a keeper, bought it for my father to enjoy in his twilight years (he had one in the 50’s), when he fails his final MOT I’ll have it back with loads of great memories attached to it, the CB750 SOHC I might sell next year, enjoyed building it but I rarely ride it now, took it to the TT a couple of years ago, it was great fun going over the mountain, handles well considering it was mainly designed in the 60’s!
My triumph t70 1938, Been in my good ladies family from new, just recently completed as a last request from her dad before he passed away. Wasnt too sure at first but once I started restoring it really enjoyed getting to grips with the classic engineering and looks
My 1976 Z900 a4 .Bought as a project .Full nut and bolt job over a couple of years. Always wanted one back in the day but was never in a position to get one.
My 86 GSXR-750 not really a classic in the strict sense more the bike I just missed out on when I got my full licence back in 88 as the slabbie wasn’t available to buy new anymore probably for the best given my approach to riding back then. Pic with my current duc included for the hell of it. Ps the 750 is a G jdm import wearing F model fairing which is as I purchased it and my favoured look for the 750.
