British Bikes in Budapest bedrooms



What every girl needs in her house-the living room motorcycle-a 1958 Velocette Venom 500cc on the third floor. Painted, polished and components carried up the stairs for assembly in place. Just how to get it down now? Since I have another in the garage running very nicely this one can stay for best plus I still need to find a few important parts.

This guy has managed to shoe horn the mighty Vincent 1000 engine into a Norton Featherbed frame thus creating the ultimate combination serious road burner. He is probably lucky to be able to wheel it into his ground floor living room by the look of things too. At least my wife has stopped the comments now, by the look on his face things are a little different at home.

Recently bought this '59 Velocette Venom in a sorry state of repair. Spent some time working on the engine and gearbox and general appearance. Now it is running well and starting to look how it should. Fast too. See the before and after photos. I have enough parts to build another whole bike in the future.
