Honda-SOHC

I lived on the border of Croydon and east Ringwood for a while, behind the Croydon hotel and I drive thru the middle of Croydon every day on the way to and from work

it didn't cop too much damage, the beauty of having trailbiked it. if it had been stock it would have trowelled the tank, guards and lights but plastic mx stuff is better adapted to being upside down

the pipes were a bit banged up before I put them on and there'll be a bash plate to cover them up and stop any further damage , they will be replaced at some point but at the moment this is a budget build so I use wot I got

and yeah once t started to go I just got the hell out of the way, I wasn't going to try and catch it....

a while ago I was moving my spare Vmax motor round in the carport, it lives on a skateboard for ease of movement ( it makes a CB750 motor seem like a moped powerplant in weight terms - and power for that matter) and I wedged it up against a garden bed to stop it rolling off down the very steep driveway, turned round and heard the ominous noise of trundling skateboard wheels......turned round to see the whole lot rolling away, started running after it while I was thinking what the hell am I going to do if I catch it ?
luckily before it made it to the even steeper garden beds it hit a bump in the driveway, turned sideways and flipped side over side a couple of times coming to rest upside down. the only damage seems to be a bent gear lever shaft but seeing as the engine was out of the bike cos I blew the gearbox to bits anyway it doesn't seem like that much of a problem for now

hiya, my name is spotty, living in Melbourne Australia, originally from darlington in sunny county durham
 i'm the proud owner of a 750 K8 which is getting built as a trailbike (not a hipster based scrambler), long travel forks (actually stock Cb900 with 3 inch slugs), raised rear shock mounts with longer shocks, road legal knobbies that were originally for a F650 BMW, 70s Hodaka bars and rear guard, aftermarket XT plastic tank, XR600 front guard, XR250 seat, race number plates instead of side covers, twin (desert racer look) lights, hidden speedo, 4 into 1 with alloy muffler mounted above the rear footpeg mounts and other stuff as it progresses.
I don't have a garage to build in so it gets taken top a mates place on a trailer now and again for more activity
not sure if the pic is going to attach but i'll keep trying, might even give it its own thread
cheers, spotty
