BIKES

It all started with a bit of tinkering on my 1994 ZZR600 'ULGa' and my interest has grown from there.  Currently my poject is a 1980 Yamaha XS850, not that I've stopped tinkering with ULGa, I just fancied a fresh challenge... well you get what you wish for.

CREDIT

​

I have to give credit to Matt Liddy and Simon Fraulo of Oval Motorcycle Centre, without their facility, experience and humour I'd not be doing half of these shinanigans.

​

If you're not already familar the OMC is a self service workshop where you can hire a work bench complete with tools to work on your bike.  They also run evening classes in basic maintenance and valve clearences.

​

They cater for all abilities and Matt (the resident mechanic) is a fountain of knowledge.  Check out their site: www.ovalmotorcyclecentre.co.uk
