    Hi,
    Hello from the UK on a wet and blustery day in Plymouth, Devon, (yes it is our summer).

    Currently building a sprint bike out of the wreck of a 1980 Honda CB250RS as a background project whilst restoring a 1957 DOT TDHX road going trials Bike with a 250cc Villiers engine. They are known as Bessie & Dotty respectively.

    Dotty is almost complete and I am just finishing off making my own wiring loom before she becomes fully active again. Just gone through the rigmarole of registering it for road use in the UK and obtaining a new registration plate.

    Bessie is more of a longer term project and I am sorting out the rolling chassis and I am about to cut the frame now that I have the tank and seat that I wanted. I have 2 engines for her, one will remain standard to start with (to provide a benchmark for speed data) and the other will be modified for use with methanol and later on with a supercharger (amr300). Kicking around ideas for the supercharger mechanical drive by adapting a later electric start mc02 engine to run a drive pully off. Long way off that yet.

    Happy biking
    Jim
