A blow by blow account of rebuilding my 1961 Velocette Venom and my struggles with the world of motorbikes in general.

Lovely rides are in the morning.

This I had to post.  Old Empire Motorcycles are one of the new wave of custom bike builders who specialise in the neo-retro style and have put a lot of effort in building their brand tastefully.  They are clearly very creative, have a good sense of aesthetics as well as practicality and seem to favour engines and donor bikes that I like.  That said, I confess to not keeping up to date with their stuff after they did a load of bikes with those silly firestone tyres (sidecar type pattern). Yes, I'm one of those. 

Then I happened on this video of theirs.  It's nothing short of heartwarming.



Lovely memories stirred up eh?
