1988 Yamaha Vmax 1200 restoration

A true cult classic, the Yamaha Vmax 1200 gen 1 V4 1200cc 145 Hp ( 106 Kw ) of V boosted beast that left all other road bikes for dead in a ten year span.  The true king of the road in the 80's and 90's until the release of the Yamaha Superbike R1 with 148 Hp. We imported this low K's running bike from Canada ( only way to get a Kph speedo ) The American spec 2LT engine is rated at 145Hp & 125 Nm with full power V boost I am a huge fan of the Vmax...

Dnepr 10-36 " Junk Yard Dog " custom build

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

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. I had always wanted to build a Guzzi café racer big V but had never come across a motorbike I could justify taking a gas axe to. Every guzzi I had previously owned was 100% original, fully restored and sold for a tidy profit. That's the great thing about Italian motorcycles, if you...

NRCD 1975 Dnepr MT10-36 oily rag restoration

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...
