ive recently been overhauling my old mans bike..


he was diagnosed with cancer in november last year and well his condition had deterirated alot in the last few months ,

anyway hes owned this bike for around 5 years, and its barely been used in the last 4 , just sat in the back garden basically rotting away , a couple of bad winters ate there way through the laquer on the alloy parts ect , the chrome rusted up , and the two tone paint was scratced and faded ,

it genrally looked like shit lol ,


anyway he decided about 4 weeks ago , he wanted it sorting and hes always wated a all white bike ,

so this is the end result ,










got to say a big big thanks to jacko and karl at blue oval ,

karl done all the chrome and alloy polishing , including the wheels ,
and jack painted the bodywork ( ford diamond white i may add )

bike got new tyres, brakes , fork seals ,full engine service ect ect

then all put bk together ,

just been and got it mot'd

lol i would of got them the right way if i didnt have to worry about you bashing me in the bollocks all the time ,


the daft thing is i havent any pics of before, was on of them things of once i decided to do it , it was pulled apart ina cpl hrs , with no thought to piccys lol,

lets just say it looked like shit lol ,

ill see if i have any of before ,

but i dont think so ,

appriceate all the comments guys ,


yeah im hoping hes going to muster the energy to get bk on two wheels ,

but its looking less of a possibilty , he was knackerd just walking outside for ten min to see it when i gav him it bk .

but i did it to show i havent admittred defeat on his situation , a few family members were just saying ,

"he aint ever going to ride it so whats the point ,"

because the point is if someones got a bit of fight in them anythings possible , and i aint giving up on him yet

and thats why i didnt even question it and just got on with it

 

beefy i hope your old man gets well soon .as for the fork seals .you could of told me they were for your old mans bike .you should of got me to do the inner and outer seals not just the inner ones ,as there are up side down forks mate .see you sunday nures,e

 

Top man you beef, as you say mate, with a bit of fight, anything is possible fella

 

Hope your dad is well enough to ride her soon Beefy....top quality work by all concerned and a great gesture from you....your old man will be well chuffed....Top bloke.

Sad news about your dad

Bike looks great though he must be made up, as said hope he gets to have a ride on it.

 

Thats the best way too look at it be an optimist not a pessimist, anything is possible.

Btw Bike looks ace mate well done

 

Fair play, I usually hate bikes, but that looks mint in white, bet your old man loves it, top job.

 

Beef i know how hard you have worked on this and i know how much you wanted to get it finished... very well done mate it looks awesome..

 

WOW ..... All the best to your Dad, bet he's well made up! Bike looks the nuts mate

 

thats a belter,well done

 

that is awsome mate, you guys done a great job, bet your old man is over the moon !

if anything makes your old man want to push on through it will be that and the thought of his old boys work
realy hope he recovers enough to ride it

 

Sorry to hear about your dadlooks excellent great work you should be proud

 

thanks for all the comments guys ,

yeah he was chuffed to bits , i couldnt stop grinning lol ,

now hes just got to get off his ass lol ,

i dont intend to force him to ride it , his health it my main concern and well with the lack of energy and what not his reaction speeds are down,

he was thinking of selling it , or even giving it to me ,

to be honest either way , just giving him it was enough and if the money helps more with things at the moment then its all good ,


either way im glad i did it

 

Hope your dad makes a full recoveryi would be in bits if it was one of my family membersthats a really good thing you done and as i said you should be very proud

 

Stunning effort on that, all the best with your old chap, I am sure he is over the moon with that

 

Sad to hear Beefy, motorbike looks well worth the hard effort

 

Looks great ,bet he is well pleased with it
