Re: Voitures Anciennes
I had a few bikes too:
Perth, Australia, 1965. Off to work on the day I sold my ex Police Tiger 110. I removed the bathtub rear fairing and front mudguard and fabricated the aluminium mudguards. I believed the rpm shown on the speedo until I over revved and the top rings came past the pistons. When rebuilding it I found the cops had fitted a much smaller engine sprocket and I had reached over 9,000 rpm when the engine self destroyed. The tank leaked along the top seam, so I had it welded by my local 'bike shop, then repainted and stove enamelled by a small bicycle company in Perth - Ozzie Cycles. It only just fitted in their oven, and I never told anyone where it was done. I worked for Shell then, in the Perth office, hence the suit.
Mallorca 1995. Honda CB750 Four K. Bought from a collector for our son, I later repossessed it for a while, then even later gave it back to him as a present. Copied from a slide with slight fungus damage.

Re: Motos Anciennes
I've split these off of the Voitures Anciennes because I think they deserve a thread of their own.

Re: Motos Anciennes
Is my 1981 Honda CB 750 Custom Exclusive suitable to be seen amongst these old 'bikes?

Why not? 1981 is old now, even if it doesn't seem soL Austin France wrote: ↑Tue Oct 26, 2021 5:38 pm Is my 1981 Honda CB 750 Custom Exclusive suitable to be seen amongst these old 'bikes?

Re: Motos Anciennes
I've got lots of piccies of old bikes but the quality's not very good, old photos don't seem to scan very well for me, especially after they've been peeled out of a photograph album.
To start off - Me in the early 80's in Amsterdam on my OH's Norton.

Re: Motos Anciennes
My husband has a Honda Goldwing he's been restoring for the last year.
Age 1988, so 33 years old
Engine 1500
It's a big beast. He has so far restored gears, engine, brakes, exhaust and much more that I can't remember.
We put it through the export in 2015, from 2003 until 2008 he used it to and from the ferry.
Do old vehicles need to be changed to French immatriculation?
When he returns from work I'll get some pictures
