Visiting a Mexico City Motorcycle Collection

 With all my travels I’ve made friends in many countries. In Mexico I met Juan Stanglemier touring with MotoDiscovery. 

 I went to visit my daughter who lives in Mexico City and Juan took us to a friend of his, Uriel Muller. A well known architect and president of the Mexico City Classic Motorcycle club.

We had a wonderful evening touring his amazing house with a beautiful view of Mexico City and of course his motorcycle collection.

The real joy of travel is the people you meet!

The Start of Another Adventure!

 Today me and three friends shipped our motorcycles to the east coast. On May 21st we fly to Pa. to pick them up and start riding! 

The plan is to first ride to Kingston, NY where my father came from. There is even a street there name Len Court where my grandfather built ten houses there that are still standing almost 100 years later!

From there will will ride up to Maine where one of our group is from. The plan is to ear lots of lobster!😆

From there north to Canada ( if they let us in) and ride around Nova Scotia and eastern Canada, then around the Great Lakes, then??

Will start Bloging once the ride begins in May. Stay tuned!

The Story of my V12 XK120 FHC,,,, start to finish~

This was by far the hardest project I have ever done from the frame up! I started with a rusty bare body. It was completely rebuilt with extra head room and leg room. Since I built a custom tube frame for it that was much lower than stock I could lower the floors 1 1/2". The frame uses all E Type suspension and R&P steering with power assist. Brake are four wheel vented disc brakes with racing calipers.

Motor is a 6 liter Jaguar V12 motor with a complete high performance rebuild with 6 two barrel Weber carbs. Motor puts out about 400hp. 

The door were remade completely of steel and aluminum with no wood so they are much sturdier. They also feature electric windows.

There where countless hours of fabrication, fitment and re-fitment to make things work and fit..  I am pleased with the out come but I will NEVER build another one like it!! :)
