Cars and bikes I’ve come across in my travels

Still wrong!

XF 650 Freewind?

Well... it does say XF650RR on the side cover.

Hubs, fork and swingarm look like DR items, frame looks a bit unusual.

XF 650 Freewind?

Give that man a standing ovation
And you’re right Piet, a big clue on the side panel. The frame is the original frame, but hacked about.
The owner didn’t particularly like the look of the standard bike, and the front mudguard is due to be changed to something more in keeping with the new look, but he also wanted something that was more suitable for riding on our ever increasingly pot holed roads. Otherwise he seems quite pleased with the results so far.

XF 650 Freewind

I don’t think that’s a model we saw in Australia.

Wednesday coffee with the lads, good to see the MG break up the Honda show!!

while visiting OCT yesterday we took a walk to a nearby classic event.

Suzuki Titan took me back to some crazy times.

 

[Charley]

Spotted in Germany yesterday.
The more I look the more I see.
I didn’t get to find out how it rides but was assured it had TUV.

Yes. Chain drive.

Someone with no taste has too much time on their hands.

Poor man’s Lambo in Castletown Square today, plus of course couldn’t be bothered to find a proper parking space.
And my mechanic friend’s much more interesting set of wheels.

Ian Dury had a love affair with Nina in the back o' one of them (Cortinas)!

You could say that about all or part of 95% of all the Specials out there. If you go to the trouble to build it YOUR way you really don’t care what anyone else thinks! I’m just glad the authorities still allow them to be ridden on the public roads.

Slipping one into Nona on the back seat of a Cortina holds no appeal to me, the back seats were as hard as rocks.

And they weren't the only thing!
