My toys: Vespa Smallframe

Found by my Daughter Julia in the backjard of a friends house approx. 2000 and adopted for DM 20,- . With only 2000 km on the clock most of the mechanics were excellent.

My toys: MTB Cam 1.5

Built on a shoe-string from left-overs, based on a carefully externally ovalized, cut and weight-optimized steelframe with a rigid steelfork.
How I will rework and optimize this trial-heavy MTB for the British mud-season will be posted here around X-Mas.
All the little specially manufactured aluminium pieces are made by the famous Hagen without whom most of my projects just would not have been possible. Thank you Hagen!!

KH's toys: Alfa Romeo Bertone GTA Replica

Will be built up based on a naked steelbody. Body was bought approx Summer 2005.
Karl-Heinz has finished the racing season 2006 in his winning Alfa Sud Sprint which has just been sold. Now the work will start on the Bertone.
Next racing season the Giulia will be used.

My toys: Suzuki SP 370

Originally on my shoppinglist to be cannibalized for a (at first testable in original habitat) enginge as well as the straight mainframe, this one was found in Summer 2005 to have been with the last owner for approx. 20 years and in very healthy condition. It would be a sacrileg to break this up. It also came with a spare engine... The left-in-place engine meanwhile has the original Carburator for 26 hp and runs like silk - or is it more like a Lanz-Bulldog? I love this engine! Also found original Tank and other bits, and the bike has new TÜV.

My toys: Beta Alp 2T

82kg, streetlegal, legal and ok for my daughters as pillions, lovely 260cc 2T engine. Recent TÜV. Very best do-it-all-tool to take on holidays. Condition? Just look at the pictures. Still need to fix colors and graphics.
Possible candidate for sale to make room for new project.

My toys: Alfa Romeo 33 16V QV

Found on ebay by my Friend Karl-Heinz, bought then for the heck of it, we were really lucky since the conditon as found so far is exceptional.
TÜV 'til Feb 07, will be registered on the 18.12.
