Why you stop drinking? Thinking I need to cut down also, I’m far from a drunk but it’s a bit habitual is grabbing a beer I’m hoping to join gym I know that will help as when I feel fit I tend not to want to ruin the feeling
Or Glasgow, Edinburgh or anywhere else in Scotland for that matter provided the battery was fully charged
How about this - currently in budget https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Historic...a=1&pg=2047675&_trksid=p2047675.c100012.m1985
I quite like that but suspect the reserve will be way above my self appointed budget. However, it's given me some ideas, maybe I build my own from bits & pieces for a bit of fun. On a serious note, it's probably not the best idea to publish the complete V5 with vehicle details and name and address; someone who's perhaps not well versed in the distrustful ways of the world.
I`ve (re)built a few off road bikes. Sometimes fun, sometimes not so. This one I bought as a box of bits. It was a 1957 Francis Barnett Falcon 74, with a Villiers 8e engine. The forks were completely knackered so I fitted MZ 125 forks and yoke. Then this one. A real bitsa, but quite competitive. 1961 BSA B40 frame, narrowed and tweaked. 1958 C15 engine, BSA heavyweight forks with, Shhh, Honda superdream internals, Bantam front hub and a Goldstar QD rear hub. They were the good ones, now the bad. Bloody 305 Fantic, bought as a wheeled out of a barn non runner. Don`t really know why I bought it, never liked it, at the end I hated it. I never even rode it, apart from a couple of laps around the back garden, was glad to see the back of the bloody thing. I made a couple of hundred quid on it but boy, did it make me suffer for that.
Excellent post , man after my own heart (Greeves / Cotton / Triumph T100 rigid). The early Fantic twinshock were better than the Bultaco ?
You can't beat off road riding experiences for getting the juices flowing, @Robarano how a garage should look like,picture 5 ^^^^^.
A couple of my mates have twinshock Fantics, they rate them, one of them talked me into buying that 305 Fantic. That reminds me, I still haven`t punched him in the face for that little gem of advice. My Uncle has an old Triumph in his garage, not sure which model. He hasn`t ridden it for years but he won`t sell it. I have first dibs on it if he ever does.
