Stormin 9,975 #1 Posted December 15, 2018 A chap I've recently got to know, who's just moved up here, has quite a collection of vintage motorcycles. Nothing more modern than 1938.

WHNJ701 4,162 #4 Posted December 15, 2018 always liked the vintage board track racers of the teens and twenties, I have been slowly accumulating parts to build one replica indian. I put this together one weekend awhile ago, it's called being bored with a welder and a bunch of scrap parts, it got alot of attention pedaling it around town 6 2 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
peter lena 7,982 #5 Posted December 15, 2018 for their age ,they look terrific , retaining what he has and NOT RESTORING any of them will retain value and natural patina. if you are ever in NC , near Maggie valley , https://wheelsthroughtime.com/ is definitely worth the stop, this is beyond time traveling. the genuine interest and retention of 100 year old motorcycles ,lives in the shop. pete Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chris G 3,272 #8 Posted December 16, 2018 This isn't the best pic. But only one I have on this phone, for this bike was put together 6 or 7 years ago. This is a 1967 BSA Hornet A65 (650 cc ). Had a rigid frame built from original frame and a 4 foot p&p girder front end. Homemade steel coffin tank and all the old school goodies. It had sat in pieces since 1979 when I got it. But we put it all together and hot rodded it for a summer and then passed it on to a guy down south. But it was a fun bike. I'll have to see if I can find a better pic on the computer of when it was complete or see if my dad had the pics kicking around somewhere still. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you are there on a week day in off season they will walk around with you and tell you more information about each bike than is imaginable. They also will run several of tho older ones so you can appreciate the unique aspects of each. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
