I bought some knee pads. In typical British bike fashion I had to do a bit of work to get them to fit properly.
Very nice, let's see the rest of the bike!
 
Still collecting the pieces. I will post an updated build thread this weekend.

I bought a new battery for the 750, got it home and the terminals are reversed.......crap.

So gonna stop by and swap out for correct one after work, which is where I'm at still at this hour.

Geeeesh......just can't get much done working 12 hour days all week and 10's on the weekend.

Nice, resto/mod with the disc brakes. What's up with the engine? Stock? Hot-rod?
 
Shot over to The Salt Lick as soon as I got to Austin. 10/10 for that place.

I think I've seen that place on food network before.

That's the one.


The pops and I have traveled all over the country to bbq joints. That was by far the best brisket I've had.

Yep, Resto/MOD, more focus on the mod. I have an ex500 engine I will be fitting as A10 engines are rare around me and are parted out as soon as they are found.
 
CB350. Irk says it has an XL front end?

$500 and runs, but no lights and no title.

Plans are to get the paperwork sorted, get it street legal, and use it as a test bed for some upcoming products.

Nothing so spectacular as a complete bike. A couple of months ago I was offered a 1988 Godden 500 speedway engine at the right price. Being a lover of singles its home with me now. Last Friday I went to look at a 1982 Otto Lantenhammer built Weslake. Very little use and unmolested. The seller is impeccable It hasn't been fired up since 1982. A bit scruffy on the outside from sitting almost 38 years but lift off the valve cover and its like a jewel! To say I'm a happy puppy is an unserstatement.




 
I've long wanted to own a Yamaha tw200, but every time I've found one for sale, people tend to be pretty proud of them and ask what is in my opinion a little bit too much money for a long production run small CC bike. That is until today when my harmless Facebook Marketplace search turned into a spur of the moment 4 Hour round trip after work to go pick this gem up. It's a 1987 model that has been robbed of a few parts by the previous owner to keep another tw200 on the road. Since it's incomplete, I don't feel too horrible about some minor customization to turn it into a neat and quirky little trail bike
