Looky what I found in my neighborhood this weekend.

Cool Jay......did you buy it? I'm actually gearing up to sell my Boyd and Stellings TM400. It needs a little work and once that's done she's gone. The one you found is pretty nice...mine originally had the same tank. The swingarm's copped some severe gusseting, mine's still a gusset virgin.

It wasn't for sale, not that I need anymore bikes.  It was at my motor guy's shop he was restoring it for someone.  I had never heard of one nor a Hindell until I read some of your posts.  I may get to watch this race on the weekend.  How does yours ride out on the track Firko?

I'm embarrased to admit that I've never ridden the bike Jay. Soon after completing it the ignition packed it in so I sent it away for repairs and moved on to my other projects. Through my own fault the ignition remained at the repairers for well over a year, in fact I only got it back last month. There's some minor work to do to it....I don't like the alloy footpeg mounts so I'm changing them to something a tad more sturdy and I need to fix the siezed steering head rake adjuster. I think some powdercoat got onto the threads making it impossible to screw the adjuster in or out. After those things are addressed and she gets a tidy up.....she's leaving home.
