Not at all. I would love to have a Moto Martin CBX. So I was looking at a replica frame and rolling chasis that had been advertised on Car and Classic (search under CBX). On the same page was a relatively cheap CBX so I explored the dealers website. The CBX sold quickly but whilst I was there I fell in love (my old man's influence when I was a kid). A week later I am now the proud owner of a bike I never anticipated owning. It is the first British bike that I have owned excluding a Hinkley Triumph. Took it for a 50 mile spin last night which I thoroughly enjoyed and ended up at a Vintage Japanese Motorcycle Club event where I met Alan Millyard. To quote he has no intention of building a Laverda V6!

Chris, Above 60mph it makes your nuts tingle. I don't think that you would like it! I am probably wrong there.

What is that over the headlight? Looks like it's off a Manx.

Thanks Terry,
None of my work, all credit must go to the previous owner. No apologies for all these non Lav pics! I think you are right based upon a Manx. Totally different to anything that I have ridden before but I have enjoyed the different riding experience.

So Tom/Mo,
I think I may have passed over to the dark side a while ago! Variety is the spice of life! Storage is a definite issue. Fortunately my mother in law has a double garage which she has agreed that I can use. I haven't told the wife about the incoming Zane!
 
Had a bit of a run-in on a face-book site the other day, a bloke posted a photo of a bike he had built out of a Yammy XV 750 (TR1 in the UK I think, a Virago here in Aus). Modelled and painted to look like a Black Shadow, black paintwork and gold pinstriping complete with the Vincent name and scroll on the tank. Some took exception to me for calling it a joke and the owner should be careful where he parks it as some might take exception.
Since left that site, not my idea of what a bike should be.
