Hi all
Thanks for letting me join the site. Currently restoring a 1972 CB500K money pit 😂. Its 99% complete so hopefully will be giving it a run soon. I also run a 1937 AJS Model 22.
Andrew from Anstey, Leicestershire.

Enjoy the forum

Hi Andrew.
If you didn't spend money on bikes you'd only waste it. Let's see some pics of the rebuild.

Welcome Andrew, I would also like to see some pics of the AJS.

Hi Andrew, I am just down the road from you in Syston, restoring a 500K2.

Hi from Orkney Andrew! If you are 99% complete the money will be well and truly in the pit 😂. Problem is shortly after one pit is full we then goon to look for another pit. I often wonder if you were to pay someone to restore for you I think you could easily double that pit. Expensive hobby it is, a lot of satisfaction in knowing you’ve saved another from the knackers yard.

Here's a couple of pics as requested. The CB500K2 I'm building, I've not used a standard colour as i couldn't justify the cost of the paint :o I quite like this colour and it is a Honda colour :D
The other is my AJS Model 22 1937

Both bikes look great and the AJS is fantastic 😍😍😍😍

Nice looking pair of bikes I love the sweep of the AJS exhuast system.
What is the wooden coloured part on the AJS is it some sort of safety shield?
