A bike shop in inner sydney held a swap meet today. Thought i'd mosey in and see what people rode up on...
An old panther! I believe it's a model 100, but seeing as it has "The last of the dinosaurs" emblazoned on its fender, it may be a 120. Love to see the old girl still going...
Volocette 350 Mac, just waiting to be restored. Looks like 30 years of dust sitting.
Stopping me in my tracks was this Mike Hailwood replica 900. First thing to hit my mind was wishing i was back in 1978 on the island watching this thing being ridden in anger. It's had a ground up resto, rides like a pig allegedly due to some imola cams, and the fairing is an exact mould of the real bike's. Apparently it feels like it's idling properly at 4ooo revs.
Egli machine bevel covers. The owner doesn't touch the throttle until he watches oil shoot on the glass.
XS650 bobber.
Another war time BSA! Clubman's, a megaphone, and the original springer front end. Love the green headlight against the yellow body work.
