The resurrection of No36

(1/4) > >>

Bryanj:
Good afternoon all

First a bit of history, when my now wife and I first got together it was about 6 months before my 50th birthday and I had a 3 week holiday in the US planned so in all the best ways she decided to come with me.

After NASA put up a big candle for my birthday, Shuttle Launch, we set of on a trip of 13 states in 2 weeks, admittedly 3 states were by driving across a "corner!". In Illinois Teri, my now wife, bought for my birthday the frame for Honda 500 four vin number 1000036.

Got it home, don't ask, and due to the imminent start of SVA, which even DVLA could not tell us whether it would apply to motorcycles, surprise surprise, I got it built, MOT'd and registered in a month the picture of result is my avatar.

After a time some local Scroates nicked it and pushed it about a mile then because they couldn't figure out how to start it torched it. luckily I got to it before the council and got it home to despondently park it. Many months and a heluva lot of arguments with senior insurance engineers I managed to keep the rights to the bike but was told rebuild had to have new frame and forks, engineer was severely peed off when I said no problem but the frame number will stay the same as spare frames are unstamped!!

We are now many years,a house move and a heart attack later and after much nagging from both wife and best mate whose 1500 wing trike I just rewired we are starting the resurrection.

Ok now this IS NOT going to be a concourse restoration, I will use what I have which is some NOS, some acquired parts and some original parts. I will not be replating nor using "Correct" bolts etc so no pointing out the obvious please. Bad pictures will be taken and posted where appropriate.

So here we go

Bryanj:
OK first problem, I would love to post pics but I am told they are too big, please don't say host them elsewhere I have absolutely no idea how to do that and as for resizing, unless a 4lb lump hammer will do it I cant!!!

What camera are you using.
It might be easier to use your mobile and post using Tapatalk.

That's what I use. And get no issues

Which camera are you using? Most will capture in size of your choice to give a different sized output file,  often things like "highest quality" medium or small as something of a choice so you don't have to do anything to alter the size of output file to fit.

Either in "image size" or "IQ" for image quality in one of the menu settings.

UK Pete:
Looking forward to seeing your progress  Bryan
