JOHNS ENGINEERING LTD.

THE PROFESSIONAL  ENGINEERS;

THE RIGHT CHOICE FOR A PROFESSIONAL JOB!

This is “Our Bonnie Baby”;built from a crashed 1966 T120 in 1983, it’s been in fast, reliable use ever since. Apart from the obvious mods (eg, modified Norton short Roadholders and Norton Commando front brake),it features many other specially designed and manufactured components - all designed to help it run faster, stronger, and longer. It hasn’t blown up yet, but we keep trying!

Computer Aided Design (CAD) is, of course, one of our main Engineering tools - we use it to carry out all of our Design work, and to produce proper engineering drawings for everything we make.

Another long - term companion, owned since the early 1970s this 1952 BSA has been through several incarnations; currently fitted with a (much - modified!) ZB Gold Star engine, it continues to give lots of entertainment - particularly with the plunger back end...

We’re not biased; this is Johns 1993 Kawasaki ZZR1100. Owned for over 12 years now, it’s a great long - distance runner; it’s been to France, Belgium, Germany, Italy, Spain & Greece with never a moments bother; it’s fast too!

Every home should have one: - a Honda step - through, to remind us what an incredible piece of motorcycle engineering this was; it really put the world on wheels. This is our 1972 C90.

Lots of people started out on something like this: - our 1977 Honda SS50, made like a watch, goes like a bomb, they’re great fun!

Before and after: this is my first bike, a 1958 BSA Dandy, finally rebuilt after lying in boxes in garden sheds/henhouses/coal cellars for more than 35 years! Actually quite a complicated rebuild because there are no spares available, so everything had to be made for it; an interesting exercise, and a real trip down memory lane!
