That is a mighty fine stash. I wonder how close I would come to rivaling it if I took all the clocks out of their boxes of bits of a given bike and just did a clocks box.
Got a 500/4 with rust and a sidecar and loadsa bits. nice and original and been round the clock

I might have about the same number, but all off different bikes. About half of mine are off totally unknown machines, auto jumble fodder when the kids are a bit bigger perhaps, or if our internet inproves, they can hit ebay. I cannot beat to bin good bits. Most were passed on to me by an old friend who was clearing out stuff, he passed on shortly after. I was given them basically because he knew I'd not bung good stuff.

That's not all of them too :( . Before I got the 250K0 I was determined I would get the hard to get hold of bits first so I bought a pair of silencers and all of those clocks before I actually had a bike to put them onto. Just wish they were all 750k0 ones !

Cheers ...Ash

In the cupboard in my office at work! Dare not put anything else in loft as she said the other week  "Why is there a split in the ceiling wallpaper in our bedroom appearing?"  ;D
