Our New Motorcycle

[naturbar]

I own a 1977 MGB Roadster and also hang out with a bunch of British car enthusiast - over the winter we (call ourselves the BNO i.e. boys night out group) began our build of an old British Morgan Three Wheeler. We started with a donated Triumph Spitfire (we used the front end and part of the chassis), a purchased 1978 Honda GL500 Silverwing and a bunch of scrap steel laying around the shop and began our project around Sept. 2014. We finished up around three weeks ago. I documented the majority of the build and will provide a link below for anyone who care to look at. Also one of our local TV station came out to the shop and did a mini documentary video piece several weeks ago and they aired it yesterday. I will also provide the link below to the video, hope you all enjoy.

What blast a guy could have with a Morghonda - personally Natty,, I would have NO problem spending LOTS of time at the beach with that sweetheart!!! NICE:thumbsup:

That looks like a ton of fun. Love it!

[ReinyRooster]

Impressive!

Verry Cool

Wow!

[DarrinGT]

I think that is SO COOL! Excellent Job! Our first bike was a Silver Wing Interstate, and that motor looks right at home on the Morganda!

 

I fell in Love with the Morgan watching this episode of Top Gear:

Thanks for sharing!!!

Thanks to all for the kind words. It is as much fun to build and figure out things as it is to ride in it !

I wish I were the brains behind these creations but my friend Jim (who was diving) is actually the creative genius mostly responsible for all that goes on at the Proper Shop. As a collective effort these projects come to fruition. We're currently in process of building a 1952 MGTD pickup truck (MG never did a TD truck). We're using a fiberglass body and MGB running works on this build. We recently did the same car and it turned out really nice (I'll post a pic). I'm documenting the truck build and will occasionally post our progress (if anyone is interested).

I saw the episode of that Morgan, it is awesome.....they are expensive though as one could spend $50-$70K on one - that why when did ours on the cheap.

Wow,,That is some great work you and your friends have done.

OUTSTANDING ! Congrats !

I bought a 2015 version of Websters Collegiate Dictionary and looked up Master Mechanic, should have known there was a picture of Naturbar and his Morghonda !

 

Awesome ! and in 7 months, it would take GM, Chrysler and Ford engineers 2 years just to design that

[Daveand Barbie]

That's about the best use of a Spitball as I have ever seen. Lots of admiration your way!

[eagleeye]

You guys are way more than impressive. Very cool build.
