Kawasaki Z650 - DJO 798R
Owned but improved
Brought of a chap who's wife got it for him for a special birthday from someone who had fully restored it. Sadly that was more of a polish and repaint as carb rubbers were perished and while removing them a piece cracked off the engine block and the engine had to come out to repair it. Lovely bike.
I've lived in Peterborough all my life and live happily with my wife Sally who is very tolerant with my bike hobby. Although I enjoy restoring classic bikes I also ride them
as well. I've been restoring bikes for over 25 years as a part time hobby and this blog shows some of the bikes I have restored, refreshed or just owned and rode.
I am not a mechanic by trade and have taught myself everything I know over the years.
Most of the restored bikes have been totally stripped and fully rebuilt including the engines, I try to keep them as original as possible.
I do all of the finishing myself and most of the paintwork, I do use a local company to do the tank and panels to a very high standard.
I rebuild and set up the engines, but any rebores or crank rebuilds have been done by professionals.
Should you wish to contact me please do so by emailing mgmbikes@yahoo.co.uk, please note I only work on my own bikes now.
