Respect your rev-limiter. Don't expect anyone else to see your bike unless it has really loud pipes. Don't mess too much with your carburetors, or by the time you're done, you'll be walking home. Be careful whose advise you buy, and save your receipts. Don't take advise from those who supply it for free, especially if they own a Britbike.
Motorcycle restoration is a form of self-torture.
Doing it is a way of pulling the past from the dustbin, degreasing it, painting over the rusty parts and dumping way more money into it than it's worth. This page created and maintained by Amedee Aucoin.
