Not a restoration. Original patina, except for an unfortunate “car at fault” incident at a roundabout a year ago where the owner nearly lost his leg, and the bike needed fairly considerable work to make it safe rideable again. The owners leg is operating again, and he sourced oil tank, fender, headlight etc to make it work again. I think it’s a 1948.

An interesting concoction, despite the individualised styling. Nice light frame it looks like, but still the rear dampers are almost vertical. Clip-ons and forward pegs for discomfort. Original airbox sitting out there. SFC crossover exhaust. Fuel tank looks tiny. Side-covers styled after the MV parallel twin from the ´70s. Does anyone know it's history?

Wow, that is a rather odd one. Styling is totally not me but hey ...
Not sure moving the swingarm pivot (even) further away from the drive sprocket is a good idea. A light frame will amplify any vibration factor, which is one of the reasons I chose to stick with the factory waterpipe - and modify the geometry.

I’m a big fan of the old Johnny Popper single cyl John Deere’s, but my real turn-on is the old make and break stationary engines from the turn of the last century. I LOVE the spinning ball type governors!
They always make me think Mad Scientist. I spent some time working on a Bolton and Watt steam engine and it has one of those, maybe the 1st ever made.
