The Timing Chest
Welcome to The Timing Chest. Old Classic, Vintage and Veteran motorcycles have been a passion of mine for many years.
My enthusiasm for motorcycles goes right back to a late 60’s Suzuki step-thru 50cc. Since then, I have owned a large variety of bikes, ranging from 1980’s Japanese all the way back to a 1915 Calthorpe with the original J.A.P engine.
Through my interest in older motorcycles, I have made some great friends all over the globe. Motorcycling is both a passion and a community.
I have created this web site to document some of my project builds and to create a platform to display old motorcycle parts that I am prepared to part with. See Parts for Sale and search by Era, Use or Brand.
Occasionally, I decide to make space for a new addition and offer some of my vintage motorcycles for sale. If any are available they will be on the Bikes for sale page.
Mystery parts. Can you help?
