Neil has been involved in bikes since the age of 14, always working on and riding bikes around tracks and farms!
At the age of 16 for the first time legal began the long pathway into motorcycling starting with a Gilera 50 trail bike.
After a string of Japanese machines became to understand the importance of character and motor cycle input. He yearned for a Cali T3 after watching one ride by in the opposite direction!
Finally, he was bowled over by a 1100i Sport Corsa at his local bike shop to which he still owns to this day!
Finally a T3 California was on offer with only 4600 miles genuine. It was dry stored for 10 years for the second time in its life and needed a new lease of life! After a few weeks of bartering with the owner became the proud owner of her.
A few more years down the road he came across a V7 Sport in need of some tlc. The engine had been rebuilt and frame painted but had not been fired up for 16 years! As described in another section on the web site has just been commissioned and finally recieved the V5 registration papers and will be riding her soon!
This model Neil spotted when he was 15 in an advert in Bike magazine and vowed that he would own one one day!
During all this time, Neil bought Guzzies to help him restore his own bikes and sold off the remaining parts that were not required!
This led him to think that there is a market out there as most parts were hard to find, As he had found parts for one of the hardest models of vee twin got him really keen to progress this further and now offers a service of locating rare parts for customers!
As a time served engineer, he can offer a wide range of engineering skills from fabrication to machining!
He also has an interest in the classic look of road racers and is building a 24 hour lemans type racer, this has a straight cut close ratio gearbox and Le mans engine!
Watch this space!
