25.01.2022 Helping a friend sell this frame set, he wants it gone so its up on Ebay. Your chance to grab a bargain project!... https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/223553461409

24.01.2022 Ive never had a public recommendation before but this is from a customer who isnt on Facebook and asked me to post it.. Thanks Marshal A quick recommendation - worth reading if you love your motorcycles!!!... Long story short, I was looking to buy a classic Ducati and ended up buying a Gilera Saturno, 1990 model. A beautiful little 500cc cafe racer; red and Italian. Shortly afterwards I heard about some bloke up the Sunshine Coast who was a Gilera expert; sounded too good to be true. A a few calls later I finally got a number and decided to check him out. Needless to say, the rumours were spot on; he knows more about Gilera than anyone in the country and simply loves to work on them; but why? Sean was 25 years old and living in Melbourne when he decided to go to Japan with his Japanese partner ; some 20 years later he returned. Whilst living in the The Land of the Rising Sun he sought out numerous jobs and bought his first motorbike; he was hooked. Japan has a love for motorcycles of all shapes and sizes, but during the late 80s and early 90s, the favourite bike of the Japanese was anything Italian. And so it was for Sean, working in and around custom motorcycle shops he learnt his trade with a focus on Ducati and Gilera. Ultimately his learning developed into a passion that has become his livelihood. Eventually returning to Australia, Sean moved to the Sunny Coast and set up TrueGrit Motorcycles which he continues to this day and forever more. My Gilera has never looked so good and run so well in all its life. Twelve months ago I was fortunate to pick up an original Suzuki GSX750e, 1982 model (round headlight). She ran but only just. I gave it to Sean and on my first outing it revved to 11500 RPM before I pulled back; never missing a beat. I have now just purchased a Kawasaki Z1900, 1973 model; Seans the man. Here endth my story. Sunshine Coast is only an hour from Brisbane and is a beautiful ride. Hardworking, clever and completely trustworthy describes Sean in a nutshell. Taking your treasured bike to Sean at TrueGrit MC is worth every minute and every cent. Take it from me, a very appreciative customer. Marshal Shaw

23.01.2022 Marshal and Peter jump in for the final stretch on the 1982 Suzuki GSX 750 E

22.01.2022 That’s better, now I have something to lift the SDR200 with. That sexy trellis swingarm has no pickup areas.

21.01.2022 Nicos 1998 XTZ 660 is almost finished :) reassembled from boxes, he had the wheels done and the engine but I am lucky enough to be the one making it so :)

21.01.2022 Please come along to the car and bike show at Clays school ! A wonderful venue, last year was their first and they got it right the first time!

21.01.2022 Damn you early 80s Japanese bikes! Damn you Enkei wheels!

20.01.2022 Top end overhaul on Fancois KTM 250 excf. Rather beautiful components on this tiny 4 stroke.

20.01.2022 Heres why the motor didnt want to start.. intake valve on the left mashing its way into the seats. Clean up those exhaust valves, de-coke the head and fit new valves and springs. A leak proof head! :)

19.01.2022 Is there another motorcycle brand which is as sexy?

19.01.2022 todays workshop soundtrack

18.01.2022 If you were thinking of making a SKY CYCLE, youve come to the right place :)

18.01.2022 Marshals Gilera Saturno 500 gets a nice new shocky :) White Power unit with an Ohlins spring in it. Adjustable is nice!

18.01.2022 this should get you thru the day

17.01.2022 Assisting Trevor Fryer this week with a total rebuild of a 1974 Ducati GT750 engine. These things are just amazing! It was a pleasure doing the heads while Trevor shimmed up the transmission and the bevel drive gears. Absolute work of machine art! :)

16.01.2022 Scott repairing Marshals 82 750E after a minor road kiss. Love that Tig work!

15.01.2022 Nice beefy clutch

14.01.2022 helps whilst reassembling Ducati 851 injection system...

13.01.2022 Giving Trevor a hand last couple of days with the carburettor and electrics on a Darmah 900 and fitting the engine into a svelte 250

13.01.2022 Coreys KLX400 needs some new intake valves and a cam chain so its time to break it down and get it working properly again :)

12.01.2022 Well Nicos XTZ660 is finished and registered. It looks wonderful! From boxes to road, everything was meticulously reassembled and checked. Thanks for the opportunity!

11.01.2022 kickin in the workshop :)

11.01.2022 Not many Yamaha SDR200 around. So pretty, so slim!

08.01.2022 Ducati roundcase engines look awesome! Trevor has this one fitted up in the frame and we put the wheels and other running gear on yesterday! great work!

08.01.2022 Headers ceramic coated, side covers polished and everything else touched up until it purrs Snowflake wheels and a fat seat, you are now knee deep in the early 80s

08.01.2022 Thats better, now I have something to lift the SDR200 with. That sexy trellis swingarm has no pickup areas.

08.01.2022 After overhauling/ podercoating a set of Marzocchis for brother Chris I flew them down to Melb to fit them up on the Pantah 600. They look right at home! Happy Birthday Chris

07.01.2022 Not perfect but the SDR200 needs pickups

06.01.2022 Gotta love these MHRs!!

05.01.2022 Lovely rainy day to start work on Marshals 750

04.01.2022 rebuilding Dellortos to this today :)

04.01.2022 Marshals Gilera Saturnos rear brake boiled and blew brake fluid all over the wheel. Here is the state of the caliper! cooked seals, warped pads and even the glue cooked off them! The Gilera/Grimeca unit is very nice tho; light with anodised all pots. It cleans up well

02.01.2022 A Z1000J I finished off when living in Japan

02.01.2022 More on Fancois KTM... Someone had made their own cam adjuster and it was seized in the head! we ordered the correct factory piece but it tried to sabotage us by retracting as soon as the start button was pressed....
