Here at Hoppybikes we restore and repair vintage bikes to their former glory. Take a look at the way we've done it in the past and the way we're doing it now. We've made several purchases over the years to make the restoration process easier for ourselves; although saying this we've had to create parts from scratch to fit onto the bikes as they're no longer available any other way.
How do we go about doing this? Let us show you: we have two engineering facilities to machine and create custom parts for each motorcycle if we can't get the parts any longer; which is often the case with the older manufacturers and models.

During George's racing sponsorship career he owned and prepared Thruxton T120's from 1960 through to 1969 and T100's in 1965, 67 and 68. Most of these bikes were "works" machines that were delivered from Coventry for his rider, Peter Butler, to race as a privateer in various races. He was very successful and won a great number of events that he entered, in both club and national classes.
His experience in the race circuit and with preparation, tuning and repair enables him to give excellent advice in all these aspects to friends, colleges and professionals to equally great advantage.
