Some pictures of a Comet motor coming together. This bike is being restored by Keith and Steve.

Here are some pictures on the progress of the Rob North triple, and a custom Commando.

Some other photos I took of the show room today.

We picked this bike up from Ed Mabry’s attic today. Ed built this bike and Jon Minono rode it to 203mph. It’s a turbo charged three cylinder. Plans are under way to run this bike at Bonneville again.

With all this new stuff, we need to let go of some bikes to make room. Bikes pictured here are for sale, and in need of a new home. Call us up, we’ll talk.

Here are some pics of various bikes being worked on around the shop.

We also received a large stockpile of Triumph parts and bikes, as well as old stuff. This haul had a lot of good Triumph motors, parts, frames, etc. What sealed the deal for us was several ex-AMA pro dirt track bikes, the majority of them Triumphs. Some of these bikes were ridden by big name riders like Gene Romero and Dave Hansen. We are still in the process of moving this stuff from one location to the other. We have a lot of Triumph stuff to choose from now!

We have been really busy the past month receiving a large inventory of classic British bikes. Most of them are pre-war. We tried to keep this operation under cover as best as possible, but we are now ready to begin selling off the stash. The images are of a Levis and a Sunbeam that were freshened up recently. The Levis is a runner! Many more pictures of our new stuff we got can be found here. A preliminary inventory list of motorcycles is here

Steve has completed the motor work on the Chenney Norton motocross bike.

The Gulf has been on hold for a while. We began mocking up the motors, and posted some pics on the Gulf Norton Blog.
