Beautiful Red / Antique White 2 tone paint

Wheels have been refinished with a matte chrome powder coating

We kept the OEM Smiths Speedometer and Tachometer on the bike to give it character. The gauges are rare and we just couldnt bring ourselves to use something aftermarket. They work great.

Mon, 14 Oct 2013

There’s something distinctly cool about old British motorcycles. From the wire wheels, the minimal bodywork, and the exposed engines which give off a thunderous bark, I’ve always loved looking at old Triumphs, BSAs and the like from the 60s.  I’ve never owned one though.

Man Builds Sidecar from Bathtub

Thu, 23 Apr 2009

Back in 1997, an unusual motorcycle appeared on the front page of the Bristol Evening Post. Unable to afford a costly traditional sidecar, bus driver Alan Iles of Bedminster opted to build his own, using a bathtub.
