Cheney motorcycle frame stored 25 years, we think it was a unit used by the metropolitan police team in 1975 for ISDT in Isle of Mann, but can not verify that. Chrome is in bad condition but left as is for buyers refurbishment, complete with tank, rear mudguard and unknown make of forks. Comes with a 350cc Triumph 21 engine complete, less kickstart and distributer cap. Engine is siezed probably with being in storage.

Sorry to hear that your mum is unwell Mark. Hope things work out ok.
That twin shock trials video was great viewing, haven't done that for years. The little chubby fellow was doing great, he knows more about handling a bike than modern juniors learn in a long while riding there little rockets on faster but easier tracks.
cheers pancho.

Mum's getting better Wal, thanks mate. I agree with your thoughts on the liittle kid too...I love his intensity :).
I wish I had the space for this Cheney. I've got a 500 motor sitting and most of the missing bits waiting for a home. It'd be a great partner to my Yamaha Cheney but enough's enough. There are only so many projects a man can comfortably undertake before it all becomes too much. ::)
