I was given this bike in boxes, reportedly raced in South Africa, it was rolling chassis and engine stripped to component parts, no bodywork. I built it for Sprinting and later built up a 350 engine. All this was done over 20 years ago.

My 21 year son Sam has passed all the bike tests so can now ride unlimited capacity (don’t get me started about how ridiculous having to take the same tests twice is) Sam was born after I built this bike, he asked if he could get it out and running again to have a ride, he’s hooked, he has modern bikes, race bikes, but loved the raw feel, said it felt like he was doing 100mph at 30mph 😂

Out and about 2022

Well I suspect this will be the last run out in 2022 if the weather forecast is to be believed

Good clean after a nice run which certainly blew the cobwebs away
