Nelson, is the bike in the first pic an HRD Vincent??? the motor sure looks like one. Years ago my dad had an HRD & a Brough Superior,,,,,, that was long before the Japs took over. Jerry, I see you mention cafe racers,, do you have much stuff like Tritons & Tribsa's in USA?? these mix n match machines were popular here back in the 60's & early 70's but I've not seen one for years. Maybe they went across the pond too. Anyone on here got a Boss Hoss?? now thats one crazy bike I would love to have a go on

Would hate to drop the thing though.

One is a Vincent the other is a BSA Catalina Gold Star. I have the parts to put together a Bsaki. It will be a BSA frame with a Suzuki GT550 two stroke triple engine.

I collect and shoot guns, make metal sculpture, tinker with my other cars, work on my old house, spill the occaisional beer, lately I have been replacing all the old wooden stairs and railings with iron. Oh, I also have an old pinball machine that has not worked in years. ..http://s17.photobucket.com/albums/b81/fubaragain/?action=view&current=ironrail.jpg

fubar, your railing is impressive. I wish I had the talent.

Thank you, I use all salvage steel to save money so none of it matches. The rust helps the paint stick better...
