Hello, FYI - Bruno Becarri's Parilla book is up for sale on the Italian e-bay for a buy-it-now price of 60Euro. I'm not sure if they ship worldwide but I guess...
I use Joe Fredrickson at Eurorods in Jupiter Florida. He has done very good work making new pins and coming up with rods for the odd bikes I restore. He just...
Awesome collection, I thought this would generate some activity on our list here, but I think everyone is speechless and slack jawed in awe of your museum. A...
Hi all - Wanted to give you further update on oli lines - It doesn't look like they will arrive for Christmas delivery but I have been ensured that he is...
Avery, thanks for the kind words. Yes there are quite a few parilla in the museum and more to come. I intend to have pictures on my web site and I will have...
From the photos, Jim Dillard's moto museum looks to be one of the finest I have seen. Jim invited me there in September of 2007 when I was on a fast go and...
Ok, who bought the Speedster frame for $2,000?! I'm also surprised that the motor didn't go higher than $670. Remember way back 8 years ago when $1,200 was a...
That makes for a very expensive bike. At a time when I see restored, mechanically sound, 175s with the early style frames struggling to reach UK4k/US$6k here...
Missed the opportunity to reply to the original mailing but I did have a look at the pix taken by Vicki - what a collection! Well done Jim, a wide selection of...
Hi all Just wondered if anyone in parilla land has upgraded the stock electrics/ignition. any ideas? 6 volt transitor modules? rewound magnetos? CDI...
I agree Milt, I thought the motor would go for much more and the frame price was not too surprising. I didn't notice if the 2 of them went to the same...
Hello, I think I remember Jim Dillard telling me that motors are easy to find compared to locating frames. I have 6 rebuilt motors sitting behind my computer...
Well said Mike,the cost of restorations in my experience never relates to the price a bike can bring,how some of the restorers make any money is a mystery to...
Well, I guess its a matter of perspective some people spend $100k for a chopper that won't go 'round corners. In my mind, 4k for an old italian masterpiece of...
Geezzzee guys!!! I thought $40.00 was a lot to spend on a parilla frame and engine. I remember when they were only $40.00. Who ever bought it wanted it....
The same bidder got many of the parts but missed out on the frame. The frame had a slow start, so I guess the guy didn't set his snipe high enough. John ...
actually what happened is: the moron that outbid me on the frame, bit off more than he could handle and backed out of the deal , leaving it to me I have it...
I'm sure that Framecrafters would be happy to build you a frame for about what that one on eBay was bid up to. Probably not an exact copy, but will look close,...
Congratulations, Bob. I am really happy to see the numbered parts stay together. Good luck on your project. Keep us posted on the progress. I hope to see...
Harley - It is interesting you suggest that because I am currently doing just that with Framecrafters - collaborating with them to make a replica of the 2nd...
I've priced up getting repro frames made here in the UK & to get an accurate 2nd series MSDS/GS frame made i.e with tapered tubing where appropriate (inc the...
