A RUF 750
thegreatpan:
Nice looking bike. I think RUF used to be a Brighton registration, if so the original bike probably came from the now defunct Redhill Motors in North Road.

He can't stand building specials Dave, he hates doing it with a passion. The problem is, what do you do with all the parts that you take off other bikes you buy that you are going to restore back to standard? You could throw them in the skip but what a waste, you could flog them on eBay but can't be bothered or you could leave them laying around in the workshop collecting dirt and then throw them in the skip. At least by cobbling a bike together, the parts get used and it keeps another SOHC on the road in some form or another.

I’ve been to that guy in Slough Trig.
Front wheel for an R80 if I remember.
Surely there can’t be more than one guy who breaks bikes in his house in a dodgy part of Slough!

That's a nice looking bike Graham, and a much better plan to build a bike rather than sell a collection of parts. I'm sure building something different to the normal restoration will provide a different riding experience and that exhaust will release the inner hooligan :D
Trigger:
Must be the same place Steve, every window on the house, smashed or a crack in it ;D
The exhaust is a 80's Laser that i must of took off a 750 in the 90's. Not too loud ;)
