Jerry is our latest Interesting Motorcycle Visitor
With a beautiful bitsa - check this out
Jerry Rulf
Jerry popped in last week, with a new and marvellous bike he's made! It is a 1998 CG125W although you would never know it to look at it! A ‘bitsa’ indeed it is.
Here is the recipe from the man himself:
* Tank seat and headlight are from a 1960 MZ 125 RT
* Sidepanel and tail lamp from a BSA Bantam
* Silencer from a BSA C15 – and it fits straight on the original pipe!
* Mudguards from a 1957 Peugeot 125
* Toolbox from a 1950s Puch 250
* Switchgear from a 1977 CG125
* Handlebars from a Yamaha LC350
Lots of things are from Wemoto –
* The paint - it’s Aprilia light red
* Grey handlebar grips
* Air filter
* Cables
* Battery
* Chain & sprockets
* Wheel bearings
* Tyres
Jerry says:
It took a year to build. I wanted it to look like a 1950s Italian bike which I can’t afford.
John at Wemoto did the speedo face (the speedo is off a monkey bike by the way!)
And my future plans for the bike? Stainless spokes with MZ alloy rims and a pillion seat.
Nice one Jerry, what a beautiful bike!
