Hey that is a beauty, real nice restoration it looks like.
Do you use it for everyday rides or just for special occasions?
I have three bikes but only two in this vintage category.
The first one is actually a scooter, Finnish brand named Tunturi. Puch engine.
When you run out of gas, you can keep on going like a bicycle.
Another, in the older pic is Lambretta LD 125 year 1953. Couldn't take the picture as she is now as she is in pieces, waiting for me to get an inspiration to put it back to work. It goes to my wife once i have it made.'That is what i do. I drink and i know things'

Another beauty. With turbo i believe that the top and acceleration speeds are 'enough'. Originally Posted by rostfrei

I troll ebays motorsickle ads all the time. Yeah, its depressing knowing that I'm not going to bid :-( Originally Posted by Sailor

I have one of these in the garage waiting for a restore. This is not a picture of my bike but is the same year and model. Well, maybe not so exotic...

Kawasaki supplied most of the bikes for the Mad Max series. I always liked the KZ 1000's

Not my picture, but I had one just like this a long time ago.
Brings back memories.
Love that Vincent.

The second is 1948 engine made into custom decoration light. Works as a cognac glass warmer as well.'That is what i do. I drink and i know things'
