Hi Sam, thanks!

As a general update - the progress is super slow as I have been absorbed into a very special Yamaha build! However, I am planning on making some progress this year with the aim of completing the rolling chassis.

Cheers,

No problem mate, some builds take a lot more time than what we thought they would in the first place.
At the moment, I'm involved with a very large project rebuilding two very famous drag bikes from the 70s.
The projects have been on going for just over 6 years now, haha, but the end is looking close to being in sight now.
Would you like to tackle putting this mess back in shape. haha.

Awesome - yes I would like to tackle that!! Do you have a thread about this?!

It's frustrating, but my goal is classic TT 2020, and that will happen  ;) Just need to finish the Yamaha and two other restorations to be able to find the time first!

Cheers,

Is that THE Russ Collins bike Sam? In this country?

SamCR750:
It is Phil but sadly Russ Senior is no longer with us.
It's his Son Russ Jr that is running the rebuilds but in the States.
He joined my team a few years back and then again last year at the World Finals at Valdosta in South Georgia.
Here's a pic of young Russ with my bike.

SamCR750:
CR21, there are a couple of threads on it but one is on Facebook, I'll dig out links for you, the other one is on sohc4.net.
