Saw this and thought some might be interested?

Just needs an optional front mudguard for me.

Trust the Americans. Didnt we ditch 19 "inch wheels back in th 60s for good reason? Does it have optional drum brakes too? Looks like the Scrambler so should be opopular with the brown seat and beards brigade at least?

And everyone who wants a muddy back. But it is something different!

Out of interest Darren, what was the good reason we dumped 19" wheels?

Monsters seem to convert to that style quite well, if that's what you like.
I always quite liked this one. I think they called it Castroli? It's based on the Castrol colours, as was Mike Hailwood's famous bike I believe?

When I first saw that, I initially thought it must be one of Steve Hilary's builds from Redmax, as he's into flat trackers in a big way.





Nicely done though.

I quite like that one -aside from the front light weirdness!

Truth to be told I like that Monsters often get changed into something personalised, be it in a small or major way.

Castrolli is working with the frame angle whereas Earle have just ignored it. I know which one I prefer.

That’s one of Tom of Foundry Motorcycle’s quite early builds- he’s based just down the road from me at Tangmere.

Best not say he’s a fan of brown quilted seats, sports a beard and can often be seen wearing a checked shirt and a ‘Post boy’ hat

What exactly do you mean by that Jez?

I don't quite see it myself



Here's another of Foundry Motorcycles' Tracker builds:

That's not too bad at all..

He can't be a complete hipster 2@, as there is still some vestige of front mudguard left..

I don't like exposing myself to the public at any time - neither should a Ducati !
