While you were that end of town, did you pop along to the Ipswich Transport Musuem and ride on any of the buses? It was free bus rides day.

last lot  velocette sprint bike was nice  this chopped moto guzzi was ready to leave when I spotted, hence the trailer shot. still can't believe it was a "53" plater. expensive bit of kit  probably the best of the trikes, except for the alfa sud powered one. didn't get a shot 'cos of the leather clad lard asses that stood in the way   lastly, the asian indian. indian motor and transmission anyway.  straight from the drug induced seventies but really nice attention to detail, like this;  check out the side stand! the bloke who built it is putting together a new magazine called brit chopper, for those with dirty fingernails, it will feature cars bikes and trucks all built on these shores click for brit chopper information. it looks like it could be good. also check out the indian builders home pageenjoy  |

So many awesome bikes....
Favs have to be that chopped Guzzi, thats flerpin mental.... 15/10 points for thinking outside the square!
GT550 is mega as well, reminds me of dads old one when I was a wee fella, and that Ducati single is to die for!!!!!!!!!!
Man, I have huge respect for the guys who used to race the old OLD twin shocker MX bikes too, must have been interesting to say the least!

That Harris Magnum thing looks interesting. WHat is the story with it? Never heard of it. basically its an aftermarket harris 531 chro-mo frame, assembled as a complete bike in house by the harris bros. engines vary but are mainly z1000/gs1000 powered. harris built loads of limited production aftermarket frames in the 70s and 80s. and thats about all the info I've got for you. |
