[luckyrich]

A few prodgect or rebuild photos , wouldnt go a miss , at prez,,.
Heres mine , it cost me dear ive still managed to chuck 200 quid at it on ods & sods ,,,,,,,,,if i like it . ile lash out a bit more on a orange repo fuel tank ,,,,,,First outing is Red Marley on Easter Monday ,,,,,,,, ;D ;D ;D ;D should be a laugh ,,,,,ive not ridden a old style 2 stroke scrambler in anger for 30 years ;D ;D

A fine example of second half 1900's engineering, ;D

But,,,,,but, on closer inspection, (Stevenson and Brunel turn in grave ) is that a carbon end can I see before me

[whizzy]

You could ride it the day before as well at Devon Classic, make a weekend of it ;D Or should i say break a weekend of it

Looks a really tidy example.

Here's my current project, tell what it is?

[whizzy]

Is it a motorcycle frame?

[luckyrich]

;D Well looking at the robotic mig welding . its got to be 70s or 80s , japanese ,or italian ,,,,,,,,,,, ;D bit like the antiques road show this......Great stuff ;D Lr,

[ojwBMW]

Not quite! Italy is geographically closer then japan, but think a bit later!

[whizzy]

I'd put some photos of my project but i'm still waiting for the frame to come back from the powder coaters

[ojwBMW]

Yeah, lazy buggers, for nothing you'd expect people to crack on and get it done!

Did not you have a chance to take some photos in the year or so its been in bits? (so far..)

[whizzy]

Here's one

[whizzy]

These forks are very sophisticated .......................not

[whizzy]

I got the feeler gauge out to check the end gap on the piston ring, big mistake should have got a tape measure!!!

Any how the bore is fine and i have a new ring and a Small end

[hondafan]

Have you modified the bike at all Whizzy - gps, addition of rollcage, extra brackets for stabilisers, sat nav. , tree avoidance system, etc. or is it still standard?
Will it be ready for the club trial on March 8th?

[luckyrich]

;D Hi graham , no its not a carbon rattle can, its just ally
Whizzy ,,,,2 days & 500 miles driving ,, ;D,,, ile just stick to the marley mate ,,,,,,Ps i thought it was a good example as well untill i found 7 joining links in the chain , ;D hope the motor & box are built a bit better ,,
Ojwktm , give us a clue ,,,,,,,,,,early ktm ,,,,,, by any chance ,
Whizzy , the fantic ,,,,,brilliant little bike ,i had a over bored 350 bultaco when they came out ,1978 sort of time wasn,t it , after riding one of the first 156cc versions i went home & looked at this heavy blue thing in the garage , & thought your on your way out son,,,,,i think that bike was the biggest bang on the trials scene since miller went bultaco ,,,,,,,,good luck with the prodgect mate you will like it ,,,,, ;D even the simple forks were good ,,,,

More late KTM actually, its the year 2000 200EXC marshall bike during its current upgrade/restoration to more current KTM spec (well, frame colour) ;D
My excuse for it being in twinshock talk is that its done a fair few laps at the twinshock meetings!
