Needed a new project for the winter months up here. I have tentative plans to convert it into a basic replica of the bikes I adored seeing the bike magazines of my youth. I'm thinking of doing it up along the lines of an RC163/RC171:
When I was a kid, I loved looking at pics of Redman, Agostini, Hailwood in the mags and always thought some of the GP bikes of that era were such incredible looking bikes.
As for me, Started riding in 1965, started racing 1966 and raced off and on over the next 10yrs. A little bit of everything....short track, scrambles, TT, cross country, etc....always in the dirt, though, no road racing. Been riding/playing with bikes ever since.
Currently I own about 16 bikes if I counted right. Has taken me the last 40yrs to amass that many. Sold dozens of others. Got bikes that cover the whole gamut...... dirtbikes, tail bike, MX, trials, sport, touring, cruiser. My problem had always just been I like 'em all.
Play around resorting modifying bikes as a hobby. Start back in the '60s when I dropped a Triumph Tiger Cub motor into a Harley 165 Hummer frame. Here's few of my more recent projects:
SPeaking of putting in different motors, here'sa CRF450 chassis getting an XR200 motor put in it:
Had an old Honda Ascot FT500 for years that I thought just never looked right, not like a real Ascot TTbike, so I decided to make it look like what it should of from the begining:
Dragged this one out from a barn and did a frame up resto on it, a 1976 CR125M:
This one was a simple resto:
Been poking around some of the threads on the forums here and looks like this is the place to be on the net for info on these old fours. Alread seen some nice lookin' cafe projects going on. Lookin' forward to pickin' the brains of a few of you guys.
