well ive been over in scotland, and just got back to nz just before xmas,
im currently living in lyall bay, wellington.

my current project is a bridgestone (the tyre manafactures) powered mini buffalo monkey bike, 60cc of 2 stroke rotary valve awesomeness,

she hadn't been started since 1974, and required quite a bit of work getting her running, especially considering bridgestone stopped making parts when they stopped making bikes in the early 70's
its running a modified ts50er conrod (same dimensions as original, except for the shaft width) nothing the angle grinder couldnt sort :D
a custom made crank pin, as no other bike ran the same size which was handy as no one made the big end bearing either, its on the original piston, but is running husky 45 chainsaw rings (they took alot of finding, not the rings but finding that husky 45 rings fit)
so after a few months of finding bits, remaking every gasket, replacing every bearing and oil seal, this was the first kick over
