hey.
Been off bikes for twenty years, got myself a little project bike, a P.O.R Apache 125 that's been sat in a field feeling sorry for itself for a couple of years.
I want to get it running and back on the road, but really want to DO something to it first, customise it, make it look a bit more unique. I've seen some ideas of what I'd like to accomplish, but knowing NOTHING about engineering (but being VERY willing to learn) I'm going to be asking for advice on here a fair bit I think!
here it is when I got it..
And here's the kinda thing I'm taking inspiration from...
Yes, I KNOW it's a totally different layout with the suspension and the water cooler and all that, but the GENERAL shape, the stripped back street scrambler look, THAT's what I'd like to aim for. I'm going to need to hide a lot of stuff, re-position a lot of stuff, fabricate a seat unit, get a new tank, and GRIND a lot of stuff off!! And learn quickly. Can't wait!
Anyway. Hi all. Looking forward to picking your brains!
