I think Terry is a good friend of Vincent legend Fritz Egli, who I had the pleasure of meeting recently, along with Fritz Jnr his son. I went over to look at a lot of Fritz's bikes and have been trying to find homes for them down under. He's decided to down-size the operation. What a thorough ...

Nope, it's sitting in a mates garage in Borden along with a Vincent Comet & RC45. I may advertise the MHR and if genuine interest I'll bring it home, otherwise I'll leave it there with the others until the economy improves.

Wanna buy another Mille ?

Looks good, did you rebuild yourself? Nice job if so, but no thanks, I have enough MHR's for now, 4 in total counting the UK one, which I'm not sure what to do about. Might sell back into EU as shipping individual bike back is out of control cost wise. I brought back a ...

Thanks Ian, all good advice and I've done all of it, including using the white board. Have the Mille to bare frame at the moment, and if I can post pics here somewhere I'll show progress. If not I'll put them on Picasa or sim.

All the best, Moz

Best restoration guide?

Hi guys, I've got a couple of projects to restore, a 900 & Mille MHR, and I'm after advice on which is the best manual(s) to purchase. Will need good ignition & wiring diagrams, plus the usual torque, clearances & specs etc. Have Ian Fallon's books but not his restoration guide, but thought I'd ask ...

84MHR or is it?

Hi guys, I'm looking at buying an 84MHR but the fairing is hanging unusually low, about 30-40mm below the pipes. My concern is whether it's a genuine MHR. Is there anyway to tell by the frame No., or alternatively, is there a reason why the fairing would be hanging? If anyone wants a look email me ...
