Our local chapter of the Canadian Vintage Motorcycle Group is hosting a display of 40 classic motorcycles in a local mall. A fellow fairly new to our club brioght six amazing motorcycles to display. Paul Murphy has a buisness called "Meticulous Moto Restorations", he is a lifelong gear head, machinist and millwright who undertakes top notch restoration for clients in North America and Europe, he is from Ireland but now lives in Edmonton, Canada.

Paul brought two Bimotas, a Seeley Honda CB750, Suzuki RG500 Gama, Custom Kawasaki KZ100 and a Moto Martin endurance racer. The amount of custom detail on Pauls bikes is jus amazing, the type of bikes you can just keep looking at and seeing more and more details.

Fantastic attention to detail  . The way he routed the rear brake line on the Bimota is brilliant engineering!

I didn't realize he was into the vintage bikes. I've followed him on FB for a while, got to know of him through the VRRA.

He has a collection of very exclusive Bimotas that would knock your socks off.

I've followed some of his rebuilds, renewals and fabrication work, he's like a highly skilled brain surgeon.  :thumb:

He illustrated step by step the process and jigs he used to straighten and verify the work on a bent frame, off the charts.

Paul has his SB3 and SB4 on display (amongst others) the split frame of the SB3 is something else, I never knew anyone built a frame that unbolts in half, very clever.
