bertusras Posted June 9, 2020 Share So around 4 years ago I kinda fell out of love with my own motorcycle(s), but I never could get it over my heart to get rid of them. So they were put into storage at my mom's place. After the initial lockdown was lifted I thought it might be a good idea to get the Trumpet up and running again, this is the result of a few weekend's work: The amount of joy in that moment was ridiculous, until I discovered the fuel line is leaking and Triumph wants R1600 for a new one sawystertrance, Hairy, Captain Fastbastard Mayhem and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IceCreamMan Posted June 14, 2020 Share Saw an old Sunbeam while out today. Also a Nissan GTR club day stopped at same place. Thought this GTR was well done. These cars when revved sound glorious.

BenReaper Posted June 16, 2020 Share Didn't manage to fit a ride in this weekend, but did find a few extremely good deals on kit and tyres during last week and the weekend. The previous weekend I did do my first propper dirt ride with a couple of mates and my boy along on the back.Had an absolute blast of a time on ths GS, definitely the best bike for me right now.[emoji108][emoji1690] IceCreamMan, Hairy, Lotus and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RocknRolla Posted June 17, 2020 Share It's great to see such a fine specimen, but a shame that it hasn't been ridden. Hairy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted June 18, 2020 Share So the frame stripping has started on the chopped xr500r (rear seat frame was chopped shorter by previous owner) Not going to powder coat, just spray like I've done the plastics. Got the paint, paint stripper and primer ready to go. Initially stripping with a wire brush attachment then stripper with any tough stuff or nooks and crannies. On the list to buy. Carb, battery, rewound stator (12v) and headlight. Brake shoes are brand new, as are all the bearings. Seat is already recovered (and very well, too) and ok my not putting any of the side plastics on. Also need a new bar as the original unit is bent. Not gonna change the forks just yet. On the road for least cash is the goal at the moment. I'll be taking pics as I go and then posting em in bunches.
