a friend of mine ride a old style royal enfield and it looks good.

 

keepthinking I must have ago at riding a bike.

 

thats why I like going to brighton for the brighton burn up so many diffrent bikes.

 

like some of the trikes as well.

 

so when you planing on getting your new project hon or is it still in the planing stages?

I need to sort out a few things first, i have been collecting bits with the project in mind for a few yrs so need to see what i have got but to be honest i would prefer to find a complete project bike / resto job or whatever as it would work out cheaper than sourcing / making all the bits myself. got to finish the escort first, then do the clutch in the morris and the gearbox in the golf.....one job at a time!

Always wanted a Manx Norton myself. I've also toyed with the idea of building a modern version.

Good luck with the build :D:thumbsup:
