I’ve got a few more photos of the Metisse if it’s ok to add them. The last photo is of my non identical twins 😀

Thanks for the nomination, gratefully accepted 👍

I took both Metisse’s to a local bike festival last weekend, they were both really well recieved, the black bike won an award , Best in Show (British), the grey bike according to one of the judges would have won overall best in show ,but they didn’t have a best in show class.

Exhaust guard finished, got until the end of the month to finish the bike, both bikes entered into a Classic bike show in Brecon ,mid wales on the 1st April.

Next to my first build

Nearly there now,almost ready to come off the bench, just the exhaust to finish and a few fiddly electrics.

All the frames are built to order, The XS frame is a popular option.

Bike is coming along nicely now, I’ve had the covers etc powder coated,ignition to set up ,fill with oil, and then the exhausts. They are going to be copies of my first build. I’ve entered both bikes in a classic bike show in Brecon on the first of April,so I have a sort of deadline. I was...

2-1 intake manifold , it’s going to be powder coated satin black along with the clutch and alternator covers. Electrics are also on my to do list.

Metisse number two well under way,

Forty five bikes since 1975. Haven’t got photos of the early ones but here’s some of the latest ones.

And so it begins again, I’m now building another XS based Metisse, I picked up the frame yesterday from Rickman Motorcycles. The engine is freshly rebuilt, I’m using Triumph conical hubs front and back with Triumph Hurricane forks. All the bodywork is all Gloss Black.My aim is to get into the...

Hi Shawn I’ve just sent you an email.

Are we limited to one calendar, I ordered two but my PayPal reciept says I’ve only paid for one.

I’ve sent my photos and bio, I’ve never used Dropbox before, it seemed pretty straightforward but haven’t heard from Shawn that he’s recieved anything, I’m guessing he’s really busy and will get to it when he’s able to.

In the UK the frame kit including tank and bodywork is approximately £2200.

XS Metisse number 2 build underway, a good friend of mine liked my build so much he’s asked me to build one for him, frame is ordered, Triumph Hurricane forks and 2LS front brake bought and ready to fit. This one will be slightly different as he wants all of the tank,bodywork,mudguards etc in...
