Paddy O’Donovan from Cork is lucky enough to have not one, but twin AJS B1 350s at his disposal. However, his luck came hard-fought, as the restoration process for these vintage motorcycles was intensive, to say the least. The majority of engine and cosmetic parts are unavailable new, leading to their owners scouring the planet looking for spares. When these can’t be found, there’s often nowhere else to turn but to the machine shop and your own ingenuity, which was the case on several occasions during Paddy’srestorations.
