WHATS ON EBAY..

.

I like that a lot, I really like modern bikes in a cafe style. I think I will go that route for my next bike, probably a Ducati Monster 900.

I think this one has a lot going for it as well, but the missus doesn't agree so I'll stick with what I've got

Awww, that is a shame! She's a real credit and it must be a wrench to sell. Looks very good and the ad makes it plain this isn't some overnight build. I hope someone buys themselves an early Christmas present.

So, that begs the question, what's the next project?

I am going to buy a Manx Norton and restore it with my Father-in-Law, so will be a lot of fun.

i really wanted this for the a50 watched it for ten days and thought it would end up around the 250 mark and would have been a great starting point
but wat do i know it finished last night at £701.99 and no i wasnt the winner

Triumph BSA G15 Model 33 Cafe Racer LYTA TANK

Check out Unity Equipe in Todmordon, they will build you one for half that! They custom built the tank for my OIF Bonnie (they don't do one as standard) came in at 298 quid about 6 years ago, but just looked at their latest price list and they haven't gone up by much since then. http://www.unityequipe.com/ BTW, my Bonnie is eighth down on the right hand side fo their 'Images gallery'

Very pretty, and a damn sight more reasonable than this 250941234230 currently bid to £9k (reserve not met) and which he did have advertised last week as "The very finest Norton Commando cafe racer" with a price tag of £22,995 (and no, there's not 1 too many 2's in there!)

saw that but at 23k it must be something pretty special ,as it got some racing history behind it?

I couldn't see any reference to history, only got 183 miles on it so it's a complete rebuild, lots of trick bits but I think he's just flying a kite!

With you there, it's clever, it's pretty, but so is the bird on 'Countdown' and you wouldn't want to be caught riding her down your local high street!

See it's back on now at 15k, he's getting desperate!

I do like these guys



www.taimoshancycleworks.com although their web site is a bit difficult to navigate, great front page but then everything else seems to be tags to other items, really weird.

Then again, for 15 grand I think I'll DIY!

It's tempting, but at 500 quid starting, plus shipping and import, and there's guareatee's it will actually run it's a shed load of dosh for what is basically a 3D blueprint. Think I'll save my hard-earned for some more festive spirit!
