February 21, 200917 yr That original cub looks rather tasty...all that Italian exotica as well. lovely
February 21, 200917 yr some nice bikes in there - a rather well done repro honda race bike - the original CR honda 50cc DOHC race bike was used by Ralph Bryans, keen trials rider, to win the 50cc world championship on in the early 60s. and is that an International Norton i see? also a slightly newer version of my little honda 1961 125 Honda electric start, 4 speed, 75mph and oiltight! - -In 1961 the Brits had only just put suspension on the 3 speed Bantam - it took them another 6 years to put 4 gears on it - and you wonder why the british bike industry folded Edited February 21, 200917 yr by overthehill
