List Updated April 2013:

 

A 1997 Yamaha Diversion virtually identical to the one I had new in 1997 even has the engine bars. Found on Ebay in October only a couple of miles away. Condition seems very good for a 15 year old bike which supports the recorded 12218 miles. Just fancied something a bit newer. However it's likely to be moving on soon as a friend has taken a fancy to the bike an I have already bought its successor.

 

1960 Simson AWO 425 Sport, Finally mamaged to sort out the poor running and it now wears a Concentric carb and uses coil ignition with the magneto providing the points and a/r unit. Front wheel rebuilt Spring 2013. Waiting for some better weather to give it some use.
 

1958 Matchles G11 600cc. Bought in restored condition from someone in Warwick. Lovely bike to ride and alreday had some use on VMCC runs

1970 R75-5. Bought in February 2012. Was given a makeover during the Winter of 2012 and converted to Long Wheelbase form at the same time. Frame powder coated, new seat and MZ headlight and instruments fitted. Yet to be given a proper shake down run.

1970 MZ ISDT Model G5. Second owner and something I had long wanted. Not often ridden as its not the most comfortabkle bike for long runs. Always brings a smile to my face.

1989 Honda Revere 600cc V-Twin. Bought in March 2013 as a successor to the Diversion though I have not yet ridden the bike. Had one of these some while ago and always regretted selling it. Came with a fairing which I plan to fit at some stage.

1978 MZ TS150. Has had a minor makeover during the  spring of 2013 with re-spoked wheels and a shiny new exhaust system. Still a bike I am very fond of though it's not had much use recently.

1980 MZ TS250-1 Supa 5 first owned by me in 1980. Recommissioned in Spring 2013 after a couple of years on SORN.

1970 ES250 Trophy. Bought from the New Forest in June 2012. The subject ongoing experiments and modifications. One of my favourites and used regularly including a weekend trip to Cornwall after the BMW lost its sparks. The picture above flatters its true condition and it's currently undergoing a makeover. It will emerge from its chrysalis in a Red & Black colour scheme some time during summer 2013 - see the storry elswhere on the web site.

A Raleigh RM6 Runabout bought in June 2011 on a whim from David Waldridge who sadly died of cancer a few months later. Was intended to be used as a tender to our motor home but has not happened yet.

A 1957 IFA/MZ BK350. Bought in May 2012 but only collected in October. Recently obtained an MoT and is now registered. Runs but quite a lot of commissioning still to do. Spring 2013 - now waiting for a new crankshaft to be fitted so could be a while before it gets used.

1956 Ariel VH500. bequeathed to me by my sadly missed friend Mike Blake.
