Fresh Meat to the Cleaver?

.....Well I don't know - it's such a pretty little thing.
1969 CB350 - I was intending to do a full on BratStyle Cafe build with this, but it's just sitting there quietly charming me - some of the chassis components sure are quirky.

Anyway had a great day picking it up - Thanks to Greg for running me up and to Jonnie & his Wife for selling me the bike, generally being great and for letting me nose around your awesome farm, take photo's and play with the dogs.

Now anyone got any ideas?















And Home....

(not so) Rusty Gold

Spent yesterday millin' round Newark Autojumble, not much to write home about, only coming back with several cans of WD40 and an old spot light, but a nice day none-the-less.

Survivor for Sale

Brian AKA the Quaffmeister is selling this cool as hell AJS - and at a bargain price to boot.

Here's what he says:

Built back in '83 this 500 Ajay has spent the last 20 or more years on a pretty big shelf in a house. That's why the timing side outshines the drive side, couldn't get 'round to dusting it ya see.
Motor turns over well and there is a strong spark but otherwise it will need recomissioning before it sees the road again.

Offers in the region of £2,000


Check it out on the awesome British Ironworks Blog and snap it up quick before I buckle and buy a big shelf.
