my winter project

[givusaclue]

so i've been busy in evenings & weekends time permitting
this is my latest addition to my ever increasing fleet of motorcycles

i always wanted one when i was younger, but couldn't afford one due to kids, ill health etc, they've flown the nest & i'm ok nowadays imo.

looks a lot tidier in the picture than it really was & had suffered a lot of "home servicing"Attachment Deleted
from the "artex effect" (unintentional i'm sure) paintwork on the panels rear radiator not on it's mounts, the rad grille upside down & the terrible wiring repairs etc. the list goes on
to be fair the guy did say it looks better on the pictures & for that he was honest, it was only £600 with 27k miles on the clock which if you know anything about these is not yet run in, i have it's bigger brother the vfr800vtec which i bought new in 2006 as a divorce anniversary present to myself, but i still hankered after the 750 as well!

so i've stripped lots & all of the back end, & will be updating this post as i get time & pictures

i may also slip in some piccies of my 8 other bikes when i get the resolution downgraded enough as i go along
i bought a zinc replating kit to play with on this job as lots of the bolts should be yellow/gold passivated finish, now that's definately proving to be trial & error to get it right
post back soon with bike in state of disrepair

Wow what a bike, bit different to what I worked on in the 1950' s as a apprentice     BSA Gold Flash down to a Bantam   Ariel square four  Norton  and many more  no foreign 
bike's in them days.

if only i could afford a gold flash, well at least justify one to my mrs. she'd just say the same as usual, why do you want another bike? & as usual my answer is because i do & can afford it, but they're only chicken feed to a classic brit bike, a65 in good order will fetch £6k, a proper goldstar £20k+, black shadow probably £40k+, some brough superiors' have been fetching £100k.
problem with all of those is they leak oil & they share a lot in common with italian cars  bikes & scooters, you seem to push them as many miles as you enjoy them.
oriental for me
