The pleasure of helping out is all mine Cliff ,just real happy to see your 5 out and about , hope you get lots of enjoyment riding that Italian twin ! Certainly looks like you have nice area to ride in , as well ...the IOM medallion hangs in a very visible location in my bike shed , thanks muchly for that ! Generates lots of comments from visitors ....

Couldn't resist picking this one up. 1997 MuZ Skorpion Sport Club with only 4300 miles. This is the third Skorpion I've owned, plus back in the late '90s we built a race bike using this engine (Yamaha 5- valve 660 cc single) for Sound of Singles racing. I still have two cabinets full of spares and trick race parts for these engines. At the moment, I just plan to ride it as is, but if I ever catch up on the other projects, I'd like to build a killer 720 cc engine for it. It was priced way under it's fair value because the owner was unable to get the California DMV to give him a title, because of the state's rules about importing low mileage non-California compliant bikes. I think I can sort that out and get it on the road.





Ken

grabbed this a few weeks back when I sold the RD250c aircooled
2010 T100 Bonneville edition with 2,300 or so miles should hit 3k in the next couple of weeks.


Overall highly pleased, great handling superb comfort and such a silky smooth engine. 9/10 for me she's totally going to be a long term keeper along with my other british brand bikes (my daily rider is a 1966 Norton 650ss) quite fancy getting a Tr6c or a second commando. If I decide to let some more of my Japanese classics go to fund one. My bikes certainly have to a shift letting my my 250lc rd250c and harris tz go to fund this an my 1944 Ww2 Norton 16h.

Up to now I'm sporting the bonnie a 68' Commando, 650ss an the wd16h. Really do love my British Marque's.

Ps sorry about the audio editing on my budget android with quick so very limited to what I can do.

Hope you all enjoy hopefully I'll do a longer video got a few 800+ mile trips planned over 3 days or so, should be a good test for her before my dream Scandinavia trip.














Trying to decide what to do with the screen before we head on a longer tour not sure whether to try and get a bigger one or take it off completely


This is Sundays ride revisiting Winnat's.



Yesterday's ride on the T100 really having alot of fun with her in a few weeks I'm gonna do another video comparing my Norton 650SS to the Bonnie.

They are great bikes to ride, I have a 2005 Thruxton that is also very smooth around 3,500 to 4,500. You can hardly feel any type of vibration in it. It took me a few tries to get the jetting correct as i live at 7,400 ft. and take regular rides to 10,000+ elevation. They are very well built and a joy to ride.

I partially restored this 1984 Laverda Corsa 6 years ago, this is the 3rd Laverda I have owned over the years. Has done 28,000 kms engine is untouched. Beautiful bike to ride fast, very solid on the road.
Is my goto bike for a long hinterland ride as it's so comfortable, compared to the Norton 961 CR anyway!

Nice group there.
Any other shots of that sporty in the back?

Sporty in the back? Orange tank is HD ERS, short track bike, sand cast 350 4-stroke race motor. Knobbies were from ice racing.
Made by Aermacchi in Italy. Not a Sprint which was a street bike, this was strictly a race bike.

Nice looking junk.

Yes Alan that bee is a very nice looking ride , regardless of it’s pedigree ..... how do it run ?

runs great shifts great stops great is for sale $2500 reason? heat pump went out on house and foundation of house needs major work= $15-20K clear NC title Pazon Tympanium SS Buchanan spokes new front tire new gaiters lots of other details

That would be $3315 in our money , which makes it a true bargain up here ..... my shed is short on space now and no permission is forthcoming on another expansion , haha! ..... good luck with the sale and your upcoming major projects

craig-o house is gonna drive me broke might have to sell other bikes too dream of retirement next year just went out window stay safe/well/warm

$2500 for a running Beeza like that?!

Sounds like the bargain of the month to me...

It's probably worth twice that much.

If you get serious about selling it, you should put it on e-bay with that as your STARTING bid; you are SURE to get more than that. OR, list it at $3250 and include shipping. Just book it thru Keyboard Motorcycle Shippers or J.C.Motors and it'll cost between $625 - $750 max. Tell them Paul Zuniga from Born Again Bikes referred you. I just booked my '66 Bonneville to NJ for $625 with Keyboard. I'll bet it goes over $5K If you want, I'll send you a copy of my boilerplate, just edit each line item as appropriate for your bike, that way the potential buyers will know the true value.

It's not a bike, and I'm not quite "riding" it yet, but now that I've got some play money from selling my '66 Bonneville, it shouldn't be much longer till my concrete work is done and I can get the bird out of the hangar, to my freshly graded runways!

1986 Quicksilver MX Sprint II, set up as a single-seat so no license required.
