I love the old Indians! I sold my old 741B for 6 quid (still in Army paint and all original). It was a 50% profit after riding it to work for about 6 months and winter starting to bite. I have been kicking myself for the last 51 years about that! I would love another one but they are just too damn expensive to have as another toy.

Fuck mate...we have some awesome builders and finishers of bikes....wasn't trying to start a ...." who's got the biggest Cock contest" here...but we have some blokes/shelias who have some fine bikes in kiwi.....stugis stories ,photos,etc,it's a transport thread.....first bike I ever had was an Honda Elsinore 125/and a SL 125.... rode those things between Porirua and wgtn,for years as a kid,the Elsinore as you know was not street legal,but we rode it...fuck the cops ,never got caught.......I still remember the old "farmbike".... those tires were huge

Had a SL100, first XL125, MR175 Elsinore myself. Those early Honda 4 strokes were hard on heads if the cam chains were over tensioned!

No really mate...58.... rode the fuck out of bikes for years...couple of hiccups......worked in Hinakura,had an XL 250.... could pack a smoko,shearing gear,drenching gun and a box of piss.....no worries

True mate..had a mate that worked up the top of Cuba street at the Honda dealer that did all my work,...valves were the worst...fucked a few but we've never been known to be pussys on bikes I reckon

Going with forced air induction Or is it a Southland foot warmer

On the complete other end of the spectrum, I had a real craving for an old Brit bike ever since I found a Tiger Cub under a house in Khandallah as a building apprentice. So a year ago I picked this old girl up. Pure, raw motorcycling is the feeling I get when I ride it. The vibration and oil leaks...

Just love old bikes.
This is my 1939 Triumph Tiger 100 race bike.
All the fruit (billet crank, Morgo rods, Arias pistons) and running on methanol. Goes like a rocket.

Got a few old speedway bikes too.
From the right: JAP, Godden & two 2 valve Jawas.

Good eye @Mathias just something a little different. Had a reverse lobed cam made up for it.

Good idea for a point of difference. Years ago a fella I know reversed the head on his Triumph Thunderbird 650 for the same reason, it was running E3134 cams front & rear so no issue there but it got very hot with no air cooling.

Mate..hard to argue with that stufff...nothing but admiration....
