This, when it is rebuild

Nice replated cylinder

I thought the idea of a guilty pleasure is something you'd rather not have other people know about?

I've always wanted a proper super-moto bike for the road. The guilty part is that every time I see a hooded loonatic wheelie one through Manchester town centre with no number plates it only makes me want one more!

You are welcome to have a go on mine.

Terry..... if I can reach the ground on the thing I would bloody love to!

You're based up in the NW aren't you?

No guilty pleasures in the traditional sense as I'm guilt free and immune to embarrassment........

However, I do feel guilty about some of the projects I take on and never get finished........

The one I'm most guilty of, is this one (not actual bike):



It's a BSA C11 circa 1952 and it was hung on a wall of a pub in Manchester I was working on and it was due to go in the skip...... this was in the 90's so it probably was just worth scrap.

Anyway, I rescued it, never particularly cared for it but now would love to do something like this with it:



......... but I'll probably never get around to it........

A bit of spit'n'polish and you could line up with these guys at the Kop Hill Climb next year
