My Anabelle - she is essentially a BMW R60, circa 1959 and a work in progress.
Different bikes have contributed to resurrect her - i.e. R68, R25/3, R50, R26 to R60 & R60/2,
yet her soul shines through bright and clear.
The
bike (or better - the pile) arrived here in August 06. She was
running, but very noisily. I decided to
rebuild her from the ground up. Just
about anything that moves had to be redone - the village mechanics
had not
done the machine justice!
During the next few months Anabelle
was reborn from what I had, found on eBay or made up.
Putting her
together and on the road required a few compromises as I could not
find all
the bits I wanted at a reasonable price. But she is running
now and goes very well indeed. She's a
real joy two-up and impresses
the passengers: "Wow, what a bike!" or "Unbelievable, people had
these 50
years ago!"
Hopefully, over time, I'll be able to tell you the journey of her rise in these pages - stay tuned ...
