Where do you draw the line? Think there's more pressure on people to keep as a survivor these days.. I like the look of a used bike, but not one that's just hanging in there.
Must say that it is nice to do a minter. 8)
-
I've done a couple that I wish I'd kept as survivor.
Now I've got a factory spec survivor (except brake blocks) and I love it, especially the rust :LolLolLolLol:
-
Fook that....... I just love your helmet!!! :-*
......... 'nice to do a minter'??!!!! :-X >:D
Nick, let me 'distress' a few of yours. ;)

I'd love to do the Zeronine.. Just as a project, but that would be wrong. :'(
-
Think an healthy mix of both is good... survivors and minters that is. :daumenhoch:
Prefer survivors myself like. :slayer:

Have you got a Zeronine John?

I love a survivor bike & have a few kicking about. My feelings are,something like this needs a resto

Where as this needs to be left well alone

Too many og bikes have been lost, I understand people want a gleaming show bike but some of the bikes that have been restored/split up needlessly is a right fookin shame. There's plenty out there & if you want a minter buy the roughest example of what you want & leave the og stuff alone
P.s that pic of the Airzone makes it look better than It really is 😀😀😀
-
I'm weird but I like the top un :crazy2:
I done the nos builds at the start but all my bikes now are survivor
The minters do nothing for me these days. Love a bit of rust and scrapped sticker lol.

agreed ..
far too much powdercoating goes on though. its up to the individual but too much history and character ending up in a pile on the floor.

Fookin sheds all of em!!!! You should be ashamed of yaselves and get em powdered!!! :LolLolLolLol:
Had a look on ebay last night and the amount of polished Tuf Neck stems etc is a fookin shame. If I was rich I'd by 'em all and get the machined finish back on 'em. :yahoo_silent:

Depends on what it is and how original you want to keep it. I kept my RSR as a survivor, new inner tubes, replaced the knackered rims, patched the holes in the tyres and put on a new brake cable, new grips to replace the completely knackered ones and a set of new frame pads. My Scorpion got the full restoration treatment as I wanted to build it like the one I had bitd.
I must admit the RSR gave me a lot of food for thought as I was very tempted to rechrome, and go the replace everything route but I think by keeping it as a survivor it's retaining its character and history and given how rare they are I think that's important.
