Dnepr 10-36 " Junk Yard Dog " custom build
Posted by Shane Newman on
So..... You have a storage shed full of old broken parts, left over bike carcasses and a few dead squirrels, what do you do? We build another motorcycle of course !!!! Junk Yard Dog, built from everything within hands reach and anything else in my shed that was not bolted down. We want old, we want surface rust, we want a story of overuse, age and character, like an old plough horse put out to pasture. Sure she looks knackered, but i bet with a bucket of oats she'd have that field done faster than a Hart Parr 18-36 The...
NRCD Motoguzzi V11 Café Racer build
Posted by Shane Newman on
I am a self proclaimed Guzzista. A lover of Motoguzzi motorcycles with an almost romantic attachment to them. Over the years I have owned many Italian bikes, Motoguzzi being my favourite. Motoguzzi have a certain unique charm, a simple design that has stood the test of time.

NRCD 1975 Dnepr MT10-36 oily rag restoration
Posted by Shane Newman on
Oily rag resto for me means restoring a motorcycle up to road worthy condition without huge expenditure. We purchase a bike that already runs and rides. A Dnepr MT diamond in the rough so to speak, especially now because prices are going up due to Brexit and the recent Ukrainian war. The older bikes are impossible to find and even harder to export if you do come across one. Shipping costs increased by 300% since the 2000 Covid pandemic. Folks who have these in their garages can rest assured, they are a good investment especially anything before 1986. We want...
NRCD 1982 Suzuki GS850 restoration
Posted by Shane Newman on
Bike was a farm find, and had not been started for 15 years. Why a Suzuki GS850? : Well I believe the GS850 to be an under rated classic sleeper. Yes, a heavy bike but solid, surprisingly nimble, no frills reliability with one of the best designed, strongest shaft drive units to date. The engine, a clever upgrade to the already tried and tested 750cc variants with an enjoyable amount of power. The later models having very good Mikuni CV carburettors. Too many of the chain drive 80's GS Suzuki projects, sellers are asking big money, the GS850...
