The Sua Pans Botswana Project # 2

.



Waiting to fix the frame with my buddy Kevin (waiting for the pipes) i checked the fork head and opened the engine to see the reality ... not so bad actually, just need to put a new belt drive and maybe try to find an aluminium cylinder Barrel $$$ :( if i can. Still didnt find those good damned off road tires to fix the fenders, this going to be the next step.

The Sua Pans Botswana Project # 1

.



Sua Pans are these flat barren wastelands, deriving their name from the local word for salt. Salt is found on these pans, and nothing else.
A few month ago my friend Craig from Botswana ask me to bring my Norton Commando down to Botswana. I sold my Commando but i started today preparing a new project with my friend Olivier from the Pop racing Garage in Bayonne called the Sua Pans to bring there and have a ride on this flat barren wastelands.
1st step find the good combination and make a quick blank assembling to see how it looks..., find the good cross tyres and fenders. The base is my old T140 Bonnie and then, well will see ...
