Hi Guys,

been involved with bikes all my life, actively building for the past 55 years +.

Mostly Cafe Racers - in the day and since I "retired" 15 years ago.

My day job was the design and manufacture of replica [ full size ! ] sports cars - Cobra, Porsche, Jag.

These days I carry out design consultancy work for a couple of pals in the industry - mainly a pal and business associate of some 40 years who currently manufactures C Type Jag replicas, the other is an old German agent of mine who took over the Cobra and Porsche projects when I retired.

I got back into bikes seriously about 10 years ago - developing alloy bodied shox, Hi-Po plug leads and all sorts for my personal projects that my pal [ who did the actual work ! ] is now marketing.

Oilheads ??? Ah yes, came to them via Airheads, Kays, and a Y Trike [ Oilhead based ]. Now playing with a couple of R1100S projects - modern take on the Cafe Racer theme.

Several other projects on the boil - A Kay Streetfighter, Yamaha TR1 60's style Cafe Racer and a Kawasaki KZ750 twin Flat Tracker. Hope I live long enough to finish them all !

Sounds fantastic, any photo's to show?

Welcome to Boxertrix, a good bunch of people on here.

Welcome

Hi Beachcomber, welcome from just up the road. I saw you post on Pelican so know a little of your plans, but I won't let the cat out of the bag.
Suffice to say that I'm sure you'll get a lot of interest from the Boxertrix faithfull!
I work for another little engineering concern nearby, down at Gaydon - in fact I was lucky enough to witness the first run out of the 1st of the new E-Type lightweights last year at Browns Lane - first time I've smelt over-rich exhaust fumes at work for many a year!

Hi and welcome .

Thanx for the welcome - I'll try not to offend any sensibilities [ too much ! ] with my Hot Rodding / Custom building. Been at it too long [ 55 years ] to change now ! Of course I often forget [ not being of the modern technology persuasion ] that peeps can see my postings over on several other forums !

Just a few random images of my involvements, then I'll post in the relevant thread.














This was mock up - now fitted with K1100 forks and K1200S wheels
Should be finished this year [ it says in the script ]
