Going into the restoration of an "old" is a real adventure. If you do not have to count your hours, you must also take into account the difficulty of finding certain pieces.

Body

Even if today, specialists and enthusiasts put on the market remanufactured parts, for the most diffused models (some of which are present at the AVGN motorcycle scholarship this Sunday, October 6th at the new MIN de Rezé), it becomes also very complicated to get items, including bodywork for motorcycles of the 1970s or 1980s.

Missing piece

With a lot of patience or luck, internet can find the missing piece. To embark on a restoration, as entrusted to our newspaper Pascal Loiret, a member of the AVGN, "the first condition is to be passionate. The second, logical, is to be rather a good handyman because it is sometimes necessary to remake some parts yourself. The third condition is to have a network to collect the often useful technical advice from those who have already been there. Adhering to a club is a plus and allows you to share and not to get discouraged, even if you do not have to wait for others to face you. "And a bike has to drive often," adds Pascal Loiret. Hence the interest of participating in the outings and rallies organized by a club.
