The BSA shirt, painted helmet, machine and riding skill / performance level WITH NO GLOVES makes this photo shoot amazing. Not to mention this is one of the most bad ass Scramblers ever.
Hey, I don't know how long this info has been up, but it's really interesting, thanks! I own a '65 Hornet and hope to have it finished by March or April 2014. The non-standard disc brake front end needs replacement with something genuine-BSA from that era (got this), I need to source appropriate carbies (not sure which way to go here) and the motor & gearbox needs a rebuild (got this organized) A local cutom bike shop called Mid Life Cycles is helping out with the build. I just had the fiberglass racing tank & side covers painted a very 60s custom metal-flake blue. It's going to look awesome. I'll see if I can keep you posted. Thanks for the terrific 'Speed and Custom' mag article!! Andy (Melbourne, Australia)
The Show & Go Cycle Shop is my private two car garage located in the foothills of Central CA. I am building everything from early Desert Racers - Street or Strip Dragbikes - 1960's Style Show Bikes - to 70's style Radical Choppers. Specializing in Pre-Unit construction 650 & 500 twins and vintage aftermarket parts identification. Buy, Sell, Trade, parts made by Webco, MCM, MCA, Bates, Flanders, Wassell, Superior, Routt's Cycle, etc. Period photos wanted. If you have stuff for sale related to what you see here email me. I will post pics of my projects from time to time and keep an ongoing thread of pictures and old magazine articles featuring modified British Motorcycles from 1946 onwards.
