bars

Finishing up my handlebars.

You can see below the right side is finished where I welded and blended the joint. Hopefully I can make it turn out symmetrical.

Did I mention I got it running for the first time last week? Just a couple oil issues to work out.

From Moa Point to Worser Bay on my recently finished 1951 Triumph Speedtwin. This is such a sweet ride I actually look forward to going to work. Bike walk around at the end of the video. Yes the camera is a little bouncy, need to improve the rig

I guess I never got around to posting this pic of the 5t with finished seat and trim. Just waiting on some paperwork before I can get some plates on it.

first ride on the Speedtwin

Got the tanks and guards back from being painted and they're beautiful! The bike went together quickly on Saturday morning and took it for its first ride and it performed perfectly. Still a couple more things to sort out like getting some leather on the seat, front brakes, tank trim/emblems, taillight and horn.

So excited to finally get this on the road.

37 motor done

Will try to get this in the frame in a week or two. Most of my time is being spent on finishing up the Triumph.

35 degrees retarded

Graham came over to help start the Speedtwin over the weekend. I had prepared everything last week in hopes to get it started. There were a couple more things like oil and gas lines to do on Saturday before we could try starting it up. Either way, it didnt go. A couple pops and flames but didnt run.

This is what it looked like
