A yammy TT my bro restored  and  a Ex Dutch army motor guzzi project my mate is just starting.

I've got a couple of older smaller bikes sitting in my basement which i picked up a while back, ones a 1975 Yamaha DT100 which i pulled out from the scrapyard i use to work at, it was seized up pretty

Got a pair of 2003 kx 125s on build ones my original kx that I built but it’s going full send like a factory race bike it’ll be a really trick bike full of titanium,carbon,billet parts with a tuned 144 engine it’ll be next level I’m hoping to show it as well as use it on the road as it’s road registered. the other bike should be another really cool bike that im hoping to use on track I’m going to do a colour scheme of a 89 kx as it was such a cool era but on a 03 model I’ve been learning to do a bit of carbon fibre work so I’ve made custom carbon air boxes,skid plates and water pump guards for these bike as they were never issued to general public both these frames in the picture were finished today being fabricated

I’ve allways preferred Lambrettas, but that’s a stunning Vespa 👍

Thats a huge front disc, and I like the air intake !

Cheers.

Both disc brakes would of cost the fella not much short of 2grand.Shocks 500quid seat 250,Pipe 250,SS headset 300,Tubless rimsx3 plus tyres 450.My pal built the engine for him and showed me the invoices for 1800quids worth of parts.Then the scooter as a barn find was probably a couple of grand.I got it for a proper bargain.Almost makes up for the 1000s I've done on scooters that I'll never get back 🤣🤣🤣

Another couple i will be doing. The DT250E from 1977 is here already, The DT50M is on its way over from the States. Wrong seat. wrong side panel (should be an heatshield) wrong exhaust and god knows what else. all nearly impossible to find. i must be a glutton for punishment Lol.
