Cotswold Cafe Racer Project

[G Man]

After a few years of not riding I was looking at new bikes like triumphs & ducatis but they didnt do anything for me and I decided I would like to build my own Cafe Racer/Bobber/Scrambler over the winter .. I keep changing my mind on which tyre though

So I bought an old BMW R100RS airhead and have set to work stripping down, the chassis was powder coated 10 yrs ago and is in good condition , the tank is being de rusted with acid currently, the wheels off for powder coating.


So skinny tyres 1000cc and 70bhp should be enough to scary the st out of me down the Fosse way

Will post some more as it gets built up

KIN ELL G long time so see. Why no riding for a while bud.

last time we met was the Afghan heroes ride. seems not long ago

G'Day Mate that was a hot day ! I got bored of riding tbh 200 miles a day into London it became a chore not a pleasure ! Had some women nearly kill me & starting working to hard for a living hence the riding ceased

Anyway I took the advice of PH BB above !

Fully stripped

Took the Rocket to the Alps did the top 20 highest passes and the bike was shagged, gearbox was done, chassis was twisted so I sold it on
