and so it begin's

From this

to this

and eventually to something like this?

Yes this is a Suzuki T500 based Cafe Racer, but you get the idea.

The second photo is of an American build, based on a TS250. It can be done.

In truth, I can't start the build until November or December this year. I simply do not have a workshop to work in. When the Bob the Builder has finished, I'll have a nice new garage, and then the build will start in earnest.

In the meantime, I'll scour the web and visit some Autojumbles, gathering the bit's n bob's I need to convert my Suzuki TS250 into a back road scratcher - I hope.
