Hi, Just stumbled across this site. I've always been into old stuff, never called it retro as that word wasn't about but I guess thats what I like. Cars, scooters, bikes, push bikes and even a 50's diner style caravan. Got my first retro bike at the age of 16 in 1984, it was a Vespa 50 special, not very retro then, it was only two years old, but it was still cool as hell. This started my life long love of Vespa's and Lambretta's (although Vespa's are better!) Also, always had old cars (mainly pre 70) but I'll leave that for a different site. For the last couple of years I've been fiddling about with Honda Rebel's not very retro I know, but hopefully you'll like the finished results! I've also included a picture of a Royal Enfield I owned a few years ago, the plan once I bought it was to pass my test, but after riding for 25 years I still haven't got round to it! [glow=red,2,300] The Enfield[/glow] [glow=red,2,300] The Rebel's[/glow] This is my current bike, just needs fork seals and rear lights wiring to finish.

Thanks for the welcome everyone. Its a standard rebel tank but aftermarket seat. The other two have the standard seat with most of the padding removed. I'll do a build thread over the weekend, there's not much to it though.
