Hi, I've been lurking here for a while. I have had a 1955 Colchester Student Roundhead for 18 months now and have enjoyed making small parts for my motorbike – stand bushes and petrol tap levers amongst other pieces. I have an interest in renovating old Hyflo aquarium pumps. Looks like a milling machine will be my next purchase….

Hi

Motorbikes are what got me into lathes! Still learning the ropes but getting there slowly.
