Where can you buy old motorcycles in order to restore them?

There are plenty of vintage motorcycle clubs around the world who's crackpot members always have one too many restoration projects for their own good, or if not, know several people with one. They are usually very friendly and helpful and love nothing more than seeing old bangers being brought back to their former glory.

If you get in contact with one of these clubs they can tell you if anyone is selling bikes, if there are any rally's coming up where you can browse around and ask questions as they show off their pride and joy and tell you the entire history of each individual machine.

Otherwise go out looking in your local area. Often old motorcycles where just left in a shed on a farm when they finally ground to a halt. They're probably still sitting in that shed just waiting for a bit of TLC and a new tank of leaded gas.
