Sweet looking Scram fre-co!

[summ3rhays]

Can't wait to see how it turns out HD. It oozes potential. Such a classic engine.

[harley dave]

im afraid it may not turn out as good as the gold/white one as i have a limited budget

[Bluegrass]

budgets are just general guidelines… 

[natehate]

what the fuck is a budget?

[Giles]

bud·get noun \ˈbə-jət
: an amount of money available for spending that is based on a nonsensical and completely lowballed (for the wife or GF) guestimate of how it will be spent

[harley dave]

£650 max spend on this ,if it looks any good when i get near paint stage i might splash out a bit more

[harley dave]

i understand what you mean ,"what is a budget"

@Giles:

And it is mine….

Whatever happened to this bike.  Did you ever even ride it?

[Giles]

It was/is office decoration.  The points rusted and it would not start, that has been fixed and it is in the process of getting an MOT.  They I need to get a licence but don't want to take it on the XT….

[Bluegrass]

I can think of less appealing ways to decorate than having motorcycles sitting around!  You still onto something with Auto Fabrica?

[Giles]

Yep….

I got to check out Revival Cycle's shop in Austin, TX over the weekend.  They had some beautiful bikes:

1916 Royal Enfield

Restomod Ducati

A client recently took this 1933 bike on a 4k mile road trip:

Not sure the make of this one:

Moto Guzzi

Customer bikes, I was really digging the BMW nineT:

Oh f**k! That Restomod and Guzzi are super delicious! And of course the r nine.

@harley:

i am hoping to turn the above into something like this ,it cost me £850 and is an r80 its running and has a mot , thats the dream the reality may be different though

Funny. Was considering modding the same bike next year but unsure still have to do much research on the build of these engines. So much potential with the R8o.

These 2 young guy did this R8o a few months ago in case you haven't seen it yet @harley dave. Topshelf shit right here:

And more pics plus an article from Bikeexif here: http://www.bikeexif.com/bmw-r80

[harley dave]

they are getting harder to find cheaply the engines are simple enginnering and every part for all the engines are still available from people like .motorworks  or motobins

[harley dave]

just trying to sort out this mess of wiring
