Well since october i have spent a fair few hours in the garage. The neighbours have had to endure all sorts of noises till late evening. I have finally fullfilled a dream of mine and laid to rest another wish on my list of must haves. Well saturday she left the safe cocoon of the garage and flexed her muscles. M.O.T out of the way , tax sorted £0.00 MMMmmmm.
My new baby is now out there, Not the first or the last project for me, but never the less a satisfying one.
Not to all peoples taste but i love it. turned out how i wanted it to, but as with most projects this is the start of something new. Chapter one has passed.

I can do the old git part at Ryka's OK, just haven't got the bike to go with it. :)

Antoneye, it had crossed my mind.
Specs are fairly lowly at the mo. Want to get some miles on her before any tweeking. 1954 frame, '68 tr6 lump, '72 hubs laced to new rims (wheelwise in cowfold). Wanted to get a manxish style, without too much bling.
