The Project(ile) | ClassicBikeNut
http://classicbikenut.com/index.php/the-projectile
The Initial Restoration Project:. Here is a plea from the heart to all Vintage Motorcycle enthusiasts out there:. I am writing a book on ‘How to be a Classic Bike Nut’ and for the second, ‘hands-on-restoration’ part of it, I need an ‘object’ to restore. (that has now actually been ‘sorted’, see blog) Ah, you may well be excused for thinking, another one, just like the rest of us! This is a bit different, though, let me explain. SO, to the bike. I am (was) looking for an unrestored Vintage Bike or box...

The Book Snippet | ClassicBikeNut
http://classicbikenut.com/index.php/the-book/the-book-snippet
Here follow a few pages out of my book. I hope you find this excerpt interesting enough to want to red the rest! What on Earth is the appeal of old motorcycles (or any other machinery, for that matter…) of any kind? They would seem to have a generally poor reputation for being overweight, over-loud, unreliable and costly to buy and maintain, even if some of them are a ‘good investment’ and so relegated to only being of interest to ‘collectors’! My trusty 1938 Ariel in 2003, early January, ca.-10 C. Uprig...

Footrest/Kickstart Rubber B60/2 | ClassicBikeNut
http://classicbikenut.com/index.php/footrest-rubber
This part is ready to have the tooling made, if there is enough interest! As a first move forward in the Ukraine setup might be this prewar kick-start/gear-change rubber B60/2, which for at least twenty years has been sold under this part-number with a closed end… which is completely wrong! The problem is that he is a business man with LITTLE or NO INTEREST AT ALL in the bikes or their users and their problems, if it does not serve his purpose of making a profit to stay in business. Such a shame! They se...
