My motorbike

[Cocksparrer]

ok here are some pictures, think these are the only 2 I have of me working on it, at the time I was doing the lights for MOT but started raining that was in September and havent touched it since, I will do once the weather gets better, and ive purchased a bar end mirror too which isnt on the bike yet.

Love the airscoop on the front brake plate, I had one on my racer. Must look out some pics.

But you failed to notice the horn

[redkiteshoard]

Oh, but I did spot the horn and the air filter and maybe a non original carb as well

I think it`s a D3 if I`m not mistaken not sure about that silencer either!

Still nice to see one being used.

Carb is monoblock 375 silencer is for D1 . The tool box is missing because someone replaced the carb, but im after a tool box & the replacement carb makes the bike run better

I have the strangest feeling that tucked away in the depths of my once spacious workshop I may have an early toolbox. No promises as I cant see me delving into the boxes etc. until the spring, but if I find it it`s yours. I don't have anything much left from those days except happy memories. I sold half a garage full of bantam stuff to a guy from Banbury many years ago. Just got my collection of early Honda`s now. Wonder if I will ever get round to restoring them.

OMG if you have one il give you a huge hug, I just cant be bothered hunting around the internet looking for one. If you have any bantam bits let me know as I have bantam friends that are always looking for stuff, or you could join the bsa forum just to sell them

As I said, I sold a large amount of stuff many years ago, very little will remain. I moved on to more exotic machinery. I purchased a brand new Honda CB92 Benly super sport, now a very desirable classic. I traded it in for an ex Mike Hailwood, ex works, MV Agusta 125 that I raced for a while, should have kept that one, its worth about £30k now!!Then I got married!gave up racing and became an RAC-ACU instructor. It was a great time through the 60`s, I still have some contact with friends from the time.

Well regardless of what SBA bits you have left any would be great
My ideal bike would be a vincent, but you could put a deposit on a house for one of those lol

[redkiteshoard]

Just found these.
