http://www.mankymonkeymotors.co.uk/oldbikerpics/XS650-Yam-chop--(2).jpg If it is you'd love the 'olduns' down the roadhouse. I'll see if i can sort some old 69'ers photos out if they'll let me borrow or scan em, Having said that i havent checked out the Borin ol farts site. Title: Re: Excuse me Manky? Post by: Manky Monkey on September 12, 2005, 08:45:02 AM Yup, that's me I'm afraid, wearing my silliest beard.
That piccie appeared in Awol many moons ago. The Yam was featured in BSH along with my mate Gary's, (see "Motors", "Two Wheels"). The bike was last heard of in Scotland sporting apehangers & a flame job! The jumper is sadly long since gone & the beard was knitted into a rather fetching bobble hat. Have a look at my "Brighton Burn-Up" piccies, once Yodie's loaded 'em up, if you're into XSs. Several shots of some classic ally tanked cafe racers running XS motors & German number plates. Title: Re: Excuse me Manky? Post by: Jonnyfp on September 12, 2005, 09:04:41 AM Love xs 650's
Completely unstressed lumps that last forever i'm told. Title: Re: Excuse me Manky? Post by: Manky Monkey on September 12, 2005, 09:19:30 AM Yeah, a modern classic -well, not so modern any more I guess. Had 3 or 4 of 'em, one after another. The chop ran twin 32mm Dellortos & a mild race cam & went like a rocket. Why didn't I keep it? >:(
Title: Re: Excuse me Manky? Post by: Jonnyfp on September 12, 2005, 09:29:41 AM If/when i get the time i fully intend to start a clubmans replica based round the lump.
sort of boneville lookylike. :) Title: Re: Excuse me Manky? Post by: Manky Monkey on September 12, 2005, 09:39:29 AM One of yesterday's "Brighton Burn Up" shots. Remember "Blue Manx"? Now that was a beautiful machine.

Saw an Egli Vincent at the Popham Classic Bike Show, (see Rally/Show Photos), & there was a nice little Sporty on the sea front at Brighton yesterday. Cafe racers just look SOOO cool don't they! Title: Re: Excuse me Manky? Post by: Manky Monkey on September 12, 2005, 10:40:55 AM .
