One of my “go to” place when I get to London. Always a good collection of bikes from close to original to the kind of work shown here. Good coffee too!

Pity bikes cost money, that’s so unfair

That must have cost a pretty penny........

Bahahahaha!! I have to laugh. Turns out the XR I'm driving up to durban next weekend for is in pieces. All accounted for, apparently, but still in pieces. There are 2 bikes. The fully built one is being kept by my mate. I'm getting the one in pieces, so I'll need to build it. Depending on how built it is at the moment, and whether the engine is in pieces or not, I may be able to assemble it in my lounge / kitchen. I'm single, so I can do htat sort of thing and not get into kaka. 

 

Either way, there's a journey ahead of me. And I'm looking forward to it. Also means I can make it mine, by putting all the pieces I want onto it without any disassembly.

I once rebuilt the engine of a Honda XL 250 in my varsity res room. The motorbikes parked under under an affdak in a the corner of the carpark. I borrowed a tin shipping trunk from my buddy. One weekend I stripped the engine out of the bike, put the engine and parts in the trunk and took it up in the lift to my room. The frame and the rest of the bike stayed in the shed. The trunk was stored under my bed. I could pull it out in the evenings and work on the engine, but all the parts and evidence had to be packed in the trunk and stowed under the bed again before the next morning. It stayed there for a several weeks as I has to order parts and get some machining done. Eventually the reassembled engine was carried downstairs in the trunk and reinstalled into the frame. Vroom vroom, I had wheels again! And the tin trunk went back to my buddy - ready for the next bike emergency.

 

I never got any complaints from the cleaning ladies or the Matron so I assume they never found out...

No idea about my last post. Perhaps too much red grape juice in the hotel lounge in Dubai, but lovely bike EvanB, enjoy it!

I posted this some time back, but I have bought this beast, sight unseen from a dealer in Josie. I will collect in around 23rd of the month. Jeepers, I can barely wait. I am in Dubai right now. Home to Hoekwil on 15th. I am weighing up driving to Josie to collect it on the bike trailer or flying up and riding it back. 1170 kms to home from Fire it Up on William Nicol............I think to ride the beast!

 

It had BT56 tires. I have asked them to fit Pirelli Angel STs........

I think it is special to drive off a bunch of Kms and collect a bike........even one in pieces!
