Like this idea - wonder who the last bidder is on that 750 Hurricane

Here's one I'm looking at

Doesn't look like it would take too much to make the fairing look new again TK.

Looks like he did the double - two low speed low sides.

1963 Honda Mini Dream

1972 Triumph Trophy Trail TR5T
It is a GREAT idea Sprock, Woof and TK.

We should start a thread called " Look what I found" or similar and put up bikes of interest to forum members.

Boy could I get myself into trouble with that thread............

Cheers, SB

Hey:

That CZ is a good find as they seem to last forever I still have a 1971 CZ ISDT enduro looks just like that bike but the pipe is a little different and has a high mount front fender and Barum knobbies. The kick stater and shifter is one in the same with a 4 speed gearbox. it presently is torn apart as it was converted into a MX bike. It was benched for a Rickman framed Montesa engined 250, that gave way to a Maico 250MX radial. Then I was onto Can Ams then back to Honda Elsinore's from there on. I kept the CZ and the Maico untill about 2000 then sold the Maico. I used to own a Ossa trials bike they were good for the time but parts are fun to locate when you need them at a cheap price.

Quite the collection there, Dub


There's been a few good Bultacos up lately. A Pursang, later model without the box rear fender and a couple of Alpinas



...and ohh, bestill my heart. If you add GP style side covers you'll have the bike I raced back in my High School years. Looks like it still has the original metal tank

Lordy you boys don't have enough to do with the current "Ladies" ?
That Harley of Sprock's would be worthy of a mention if anyone even tried to restore it Druther have the Honda Dream - was a great bike in it's day.
Anyone ever ridden a Husqvarna 420 ? Have a chance to rebuild one - in a crate in a friend's barn. Dunno about spares though.

Husqvarna 420AF Automatic

Hey:

I 've had a 420 CR and rode a 400 WR a bunch, but never a Husky auto, only a Rokon auto, they were fun like riding a big mini bike, gas n go

Man all this dirt bike talk is making me all sniffy for the blue and white Sherpa 350
I had as a teen back in the auld sod - that was my total pride and joy

Yay Woofer gets his very own sticky

Tell us how ya'd like it titled Woof ?
