Edit: 4th January 2021 RIP Ted. We still miss you!

Video taken in September 2019:

It's a sadly familiar story. Due to ill health, our very good friend Ted is unable to complete this amazing restoration. Ted's wish was to sell his bike, but only after he could hear it start again.

Geoff very kindly offered to try and get the bike running again and I called by with my camera to capture the event.

As you will see, it has been meticulously restored over a number of years but is still to be completed.  

Here are a few details that we know of the motorcycle:

This was a no-expense spared restoration with many parts being outsourced to high-quality companies:

The engine has been completely rebuilt from the crankshaft up by a known BMW expert who restored 2 other motorcycles.
- The pistons were brand new prior to starting this bike in the video (link below)
- The gearbox has also been recently completely rebuilt at a considerable expense.
- A receipt of the recent work is also included for your information and will accompany the bike.
- The frame has been professionally painted
- The pin striping was completed by local professional, Mitch Kim
- A new wiring harness was fitted and tested, although some of the wires have been disconnected
- The carburetors are new and we understand they were machined to fit this motorcycle
- The tool kit that is shown in the video is also included
- Some other receipts, paperwork and any spare parts that can be found will be included & shipped with the bike

Known issues with the bike:
- As you will see from the video (linked below), there is a problem with the kickstarter not fully engaging.
- The right hand foot peg is missing
- A battery is not connected and needs to be replaced
- The motorcycle is hard to lift onto the main / center stand and this may need some adjusting
- Some final electrical work will be required to complete the wiring.
- A new wiring harness was fitted some time ago and the electrical system tested (lights, etc), but some wires have since been disconnected
- There is some notable paint and chrome damage caused by leaking battery acid
- There are also some other small imperfections caused by the bike sitting in the garage for some time
