My vote's in, I met Doc and Luciell in the flesh at Bike Shed III in London on Saturday. After admiring her curves and talking with Doc, I can't not vote for her.

I am aiming to get there when the gates open Saturday to take advantage of the on site parking. All on my lonesome on the little CB250n. I will most certainly say hello :) Graham

So I have a full-on weekend this week, Saturday @ Kempton Park for Classic Bike Show & Jumble. Saturday and Sunday The Bike Shed III @ Tobaco Wharf. Hope the weather & my Perkins 4-107 hold out for Monday for a meander down the Thames in my old tub.

Hi Mattbarber, I am glad you asked the question as the bike has been running like shit and you nudged me into doing something about it. Up until now I have been running the bike with 1/4 choke as it just dies without it. Uneven running and needing to keep it revving over 2k. So today I took the...

Made some good progress over the last month. Forks and handlebars back from chrome, wheels cleaned up, seat foam and fabric cut, new twist grip and kill switch and lots of cleaning up. Next step oil change and fire her up.

I made the seat base last week as the original is just a frame encapsulated in the moulded foam. Two layers of glass and some resin, job done. Also made a second number plate out of a piece of tin, I don't know if it originally had two but the mounting brackets seam to be there.

Now you have me worried, also I have been asked to look out for anything for early Kawasaki triple 500 & 700 two strokes for a guy at work. I believe he has been checking behind rocking horses for an early scaloped tank. If I have to pop home for the van, so be it.

The weather report for Saturday is looking promising so I shall be having a little bimble out on the cb to West London. £5.00 for a mornings fun cant be bad (plus if I am on the bike I wont buy to much junk).

Great find and very nice work miffa

My brother was recently in China and found a 1959 Harley, its now on its way back to his home in Thailand, so don't give up the hunt notlob ;)

So I had a good afternoon in the garage today, engine in, tank and mudguards fitted. No idea why my nearest and dearest says something has to go before I get another project,

Good advice with the pod filters Nicko, I am still not 100% happy with mine but I am a sucker for the clean lines. Mines all done bar the gauges. Graham

Yes I am enjoying it even though nothing very taxing, once finished I aim to sell or swap for a new project more my size. Alternativley a Z50 would be a bit of fun as a great little bike in there day.

Tank and mudguards painted this week and tank transfers arrived from USA. I warmed them up before applying to make sure of a good fit on the curves. Just waiting on the handlebars and fork stanchions to come back from chrome and she is nearly there.

The seat and base are completely shot so I am making a fibre glass base, then new foam and cover.

Black bits painted and frame, swing arm and headset back together. Yellow bits all prepped, primed and flatted ready for colour this week. Rear brake cleaned up, front still to do.

Tank back to metal and dents filled

I have ordered new tank decals today, expected mid January as comming from USA. So the tank and mudguards will be painted in the next couple of weeks. I matched the colour with a spectromiter, it came up with a Peugeot colour EAZ, used on early 205's. The plan is for the project to be...

I think our winters are getting later and shorter, I commute all year round on my CBF so hoping for a real short one. Thanks crazypj I think the tank works well and now thinking of a black seat to continue the line.
