Title: A few pics from MK - All of my S&M bikes
Post by: SaMAlex on July 21, 2009, 12:28 PM: Ive never really got all my bikes out and taken a photo of them so while they were all at MK I grabbed the chance.
The only one not shown is my NS LAF, which did me great at MK (I had to switch to NS racing cos my 20 year old mk1 Holmes cracked :'( )
Ive got a Mk1 and Mk2 dirtbike and a Menstrual Cycle still to build and then Im done.

should the Mk I Holmes (OS Race Bike) now say "Retired" under it.

or will it live again? will it hang in Geoff's workshop for 10 years?

I havent riden the Mad Dog or the mk2 holmes cos they are so nice and clean. There isnt really anything on them that is NOS so Im sure I will take them for a spin sometime. All the other bikes have been riden. Most of them at MK the last 2 years, and I took the HAF to a skatepark ... ONCE!

I think i will leave the mk1 Holmes for now. It would be nice to fix it and get it painted as Im not really keen on chrome.

Post by: SaMAlex on July 21, 2009, 04:58 PM: I dont get that excited about building bikes (apart from my "real" bike).
Its taken me a good few years to get thoes ones built, so dont hold your breath.

no dirtbike full build?

I know, strange uh? :-\

I think where I had a dirtbike for so many years, I have been more interested in building the other ones. I want to build my mk1 dirtbike like I had it in the early 90s, I still have most of the parts (including my prototype Left Hand drive wheel). The frame needs some work and powder coating so that is a way away. The Yellow mk2 dirtbike will be done in 90s trail/street style so will be a nice messy, DBI type of build. It wouldnt take long so that might be next.
