Show Off / A few of my Bikes

Hi
I have just found the forum is running again,
so thought I would share a few photos of some of my bikes, I hope you like them.

TZR 3XV fitted with an RD350 YPVS, with a bigbore conversion 535cc motor.
I built this in 2008 and was built from used parts from bike breakers or ebay, I made all carbon parts as well.

TZR535


On holiday at Isle of Man TT June 2011


Here it is at Creg-Ny-Baa  in the Classic TT Parade Lap 2014



RD250 LC on holiday at Hilbery TT 2018



I am very lucky to own this bike.
Its a Spondon Yamaha 500 which was built by Len Mancherster motorcycles for Brian Ried for the World TT/F1 championship in 1985
It was also one of the bikes on board  the Tornamona, the fishing boat that sank in Strangford Loch with both Joey & Robert Dunlop onboard.
The bike was salvaged 24hrs later and stripped and washed in deisel to stop the salt water corossion.

I restored the bike in 2014 as it had been stood in a shed for many years and was in a bit of a state!
however it was a complete bike, which made it quite easy.










heres a few links to the Tornamona

I also have an MV Agusta 750 F4




I am currently restoring a Bimota YB3 race bike from 1980 which should be finished June/July this year.
I got the bike in boxes as it had been stripped and stored since June 1980.
The original fuel tank was Fiberglass & had been damaged, so I made molds from it and made the carbonfibre/Kevlar tank you can see here.
I have also made all the molds for the rest of the body work, however these will be fiberglass to keep in period.
Engine has obviously been fully rebuilt and the frame needs to be parinted red ect but not far off finished now.



It should look like this when finished.




Best regards
Peddro.
