Not just a wrencher but a seamstress too!

You can barely see it, (wish I took a before pic) but the seam on the seat had split on the right side and the rear leaving the foam exposed to the elements.


I picked up a hooked upholstery needle and some heavy thread and started stitching.


Not the prettiest job and by no means a show piece, but it looks better than it did before and it will keep the foam from dry rotting.



I actually like the patina of this bike. It's not meant to be perfect, but a decent ridable bike. Just addressing the major cosmetics and improving them is good enough for what this bike represents.

Tried on some clubmans for size

I had an extra pair so I figured why not? Looks great, now do I cafe it out or do some mild clubman conversions or leave it be without ruining the integrity of the original design? This has always been my dilema with old bikes, restore, customize, or leave It o.g.?

Just picked up this little beauty for a song. She fires right up and handles like a champ. I need to re install the starter clutch, fix a few minor wiring issues and give her a tune and clean up and that's about it.
