Re: Dan Neilen's ("NS86") Bikes

Dans wife has connected with several forum members directly regarding the sale of Dans parts etc.

I never heard from the gentleman arranging the sale of the bikes, so I dont know if that happened or if they sold privately before they went on auction.

Re: Dan Neilen's ("NS86") Bikes

Ill update this thread when I hear anything. I have no idea how long it will take, the guy doing it has a full time job aside from doing all the work to get the bikes sold, so... If I hear, you guys will hear too.

Dan Neilen's ("NS86") Bikes

FYI, Dan's widow has enlisted the help of a good friend of Dan's to arrange the sale of his bikes. 2 or 3 of Dans bikes (the Special RGV500's for example) will be going on an auction site (maybe Iconic Motorbike Auctions) once all the paperwork is finalized. Other bikes (all non runners) will go on ...

Re: Need CAD Advice

Smoker, I may be a little late to the party here, but my son is a mechanical engineer and uses Solid Works and other expensive software at work, but at home he uses FreeCAD and Blender. (they are both free). He does some pretty cool 3D design work with these.

Anyway, hope that helps

Re: Honda Jacket

They all run and ride as they should. I keep a handful insured for the road at any one time. I rotate them for road insurance annually, but the newest ones are on the road all the time (Africa Twin, M109R, VFR800). I cycle through a few of the others each year. I am retired, but I keep a maintenance...

Re: Operation: TRIPLE THREAT - 1985 NS400R Rothmans Project

Looks good, Your patient.

When I do the decals, I have to do them all in the same day, Its one of my favourite parts f the resto process and I usually cant wait to see them all installed.

Drives me nuts when I have to wait a week to put tank decals on then go and re- clear it.
