Whats in your garage

Mr.R

Ah Alan Long's Ultralight, that's been around the scene for years now it's a beautiful piece of work, the frame was from a Bim' Mantra.

If I'm correct? The bike in the background is Ian Partlett's Spondon 906 Paso with the single sided swingingarm.

Dont tell them the fuel tank started off as a Yamaha Diversion part
that will start the purists and rivet counters off😉

Millihaff, that thing looks awesome, I'm thinking it would almost be a shame to put bodywork on it! What are your plans for the rest of the bike? Please keep the updates and photos coming.

Millihaff wroteDark and long winters here in sweden require that you have something to do while waiting for summer. This is my light weight projekt based on a DB4 frame and a 1000 DS engine......aiming for a dry weight around 140kg

...and the front mudgaurd clamps are made from industrial vacume cleaner hose clamps. 😯
Al sent me a pair after I'd admired his ones, they're now holding the carbon front guard on my old Bevel 900 in place, the perfect quick release system that looks good enough to be thought a genuine Bimota part. 😎

Scottish Art Nouveau in my garage

Hi All

In my workshop.

Wee Ducati 160 empty cases mounted on a Ferrari V12 Crank, one Engine salvaged out of the two and this is what happened with the spare.

Ducati 450 Scr Resto project ongoing.

Refurb 916 SP Engine in the backround.

Just had a night with Phil on on the 'Takisker' Hahaha.....😁

I think that spare SP engine could/should go in that frame I told you about! 😉

I think I have enough on my hands at the moment dear boy, anyway I doubt if I afford such an heirloom frame much ££££!.

Glad to hear you had a night on the beer with Phil, a tad hung over this morning where we?

I can confirm at least one of us has a sore heed!

sp2 boy

Two!

...but have been at the bench most of the afternoon, my taskmaster is keeping me busy! 😁

Sausage sandwiches to try and make me feel human again with black coffee.

sp2 boy

Just reread the label 'Talisker', sorry to all the other side of the wall. 😱

Doesn't look like this at the moment but I got this picture from the original owner (Rich Eyman) yesterday. Looking forward to getting all the build information and history of this bike. Don't believe I'll earn a #1 plate while I'm racing it.😏

Phil,
Any advance on those ex Sports Motorcycles 851/888 Harris adjustable yokes?
After my recent "Off" and another bit of luck (??😏 ) I'm not short of the cash to sort them out mate.
I'm just boxing up my Ohlins suspension (back and front) to send off to Maxton's, it would be nice if I had some yokes that I could set to 27mm offset when they come back.

No, there will not be any bodywork on it, exept for a little top fairing.
This is what it looks like for the moment, don't know if i'l will go for the old 888 rear seat, or a more modern rear end 😳
Will decide then the tank is in place.

Fork from a 1098, the yoke with 27mm ofset is not in place yet, theres one with 30mm right now.
Wheels Marvic Mag (SS/ST front and 749 rear)
Nitron rear shock and a P1.6 brain ST2 wire harness (cleared of all excess).

My Man Cave

Just moved into my new house, and I finally have a Man Cave!!!!!!😄
Although it's not set up yet, it does have more than enough room for my bikes and a pretty cool workshop.
Bikes in shot are:
1997 Bimota SB6-R
1997 Ducati M900 (My daily ride).
1988 Ducati Tricolore
1996 Factory 916 Racing (ex John Kocinski)
1982 Ducati TT2 engine on the bike lift (at the back).

Corsa.

I have a few more bikes in storage that I'll move when I get the "Cave" fully sorted.

Cheers,
Lee.

sp2 boy

I was going to post what a lovely roomy cave you have there but it seems that 'there'll be no room in the inn', once that lot arrive! 😄

Pompey

think you may need a man cavern... good taste though!
