Good evening! just a note to say hi to all you lot. Joined a while ago but lost username and password doh! I finally got around to sorting that tonight.
Have a Drixton 500 Honda, a Bultaco Sherpa 350T, and play / fiddle with a couple of very nice Manx Nortons, and an immaculate TR2 350 Yamaha (my bro's bikes). Briefly raced a close to stock GS1000S many many years ago.
Now planning to build a TR750 replica. Will be slow as I do have a kinda of all-consuming day job but am planning to retire soon-ish - have just started the long process of gathering up all the right the bits.
Aim is to build a bike that looks as close to a Tepi Lansavouri bike as sensible money will permit - my first shot at a cost estimate is 12k... :roll: (That's another reason why it will take time!)
Looking forward to some interesting discussions and conversations. :D

Welcome to the asylum. What part of the country are you in?
There may be local assistance.

Hi all - its been a while... :D
Sorry for no posts since my first and only one. Been kinda busy. I finally retired end of May '19, and started building the bike June '19.
I've included a couple of pics. Hopefully they are of interest. I have maybe 200 snaps taken as I progressed.
Having backed off the effort for a handful of months (all the events I'd planned to go to were cancelled).
I finally started it on 2 Dec. and amazingly had no problems...at all, it ran quite nicely, was very surprised!
Will trim the 1st start vid. down to a sensible size and post in the next day or two.
regards
