Some very nice bikes here! Denis' ravings about old BMWs has me wanting something from the 70s.
I just finished rebuilding the top end on my RD350. Fired right up after sitting in a corner of the garage for the past 13 years. Purrrrssss like a kitten. Already up on Ebay to make room for new bikes. These things aren't worth much as so many were made. Its gonna be a while before they're investment grade bikes. Cool little bike, though.

1908 Thor Twin, came from the Ekins collection, but I got it running and rode it.

That picture was taken by Dan Mahoney, then the official photo guy at Ascot. I think he also owned the Trackmaster frame business. Last edited by BeyGon; 10-31-2015 at 09:56 AM.. |

Is this a Rickman frame? My high school pal had a Rickman-Montessa that looked a lot like this, but I remember the tank having a slightly different shape. Not bigger like a desert tank, just different with the filler closer to the triples....but I've been wrong before...

I'd be interested in buying two fully restored early 70's vintage bikes. 1. Kawasaki 100 Trail Boss 10-speed. 2. Kawasaki 350 Bighorn (lime green one)
Where is the best place to look for these?
