I turned to the doctors.Let me know the outcome of your tests, will you? I said, being a deliberately dreadful devil. He'd always affected an attitude of disdain for the relationship, but at least he had had one with his father. Robinton knew that the young bronze rider had been proud of being the Weyrleader's son. Whether or not that outburst was F'lon's way of expressing his grief, Robinton was never sure, but the dragonrider was certainly furious. Japp then produced the charred fragment of paper recovered from the grate, and this, with the discovery of the beard in the attic, completed his evidence. This placed beyond question the fact that the destroyed will had been in favour of the deceased lady's husband. erything of which I die possessed I leave to my beloved husband Alfred Ing. Inglethorp's cheque book, and on being reversed at a mirror, showed clearly the words. They look great, aren’t complicated, and probably didn’t cost the world to build either.A fresh piece of evidence discovered by the detectives since the police court proceedings was a long, almost new piece of blotting-paper. And we’re giving them extra kudos for the OEM fork gators and bar pad.Īt a time when many people around the world aren’t allowed to go outside, these two scramblers are a breath of fresh air. They’ve gone for a dark grey base, but have paid homage to the original bike with blue and yellow highlights all over. The turn signals and speedo are new too, and there’s an off-the-shelf reverse cone muffler out back.ĭiego and Riki score big points for the Yamaha’s color scheme. The guys used a Mayer USA taillight here too, but the headlight’s off an old Honda Four. A set of custom-made side panels cover up the ugly bits hiding under the seat. Its subframe is still original, with a custom leather seat sitting up top. It’s sporting an aftermarket Honda CG125-style tank, with hand-made front and rear mudguards. North East ditched the Ténéré’s bodywork too, but built it back up slightly differently. Every last part has been cleaned up and refinished, and the classic Honda colors over the white base add a great retro touch. It’s a far cry from the shoddy motorcycle that rolled in. A Virex muffler rounds out the build, mounted onto the stock headers. The finishing kit is robust and clever, like the foldable mirror, an OEM-like taillight from Mayer USA, and basic turn signals that you won’t cry about if you tip over. Up top you’ll find a set of Tommaselli bars, new grips and a new speedo. The side panels are hand-made, while the headlight and shroud are from Acerbis. The frame’s been modified with a new rear loop (and a bunch of rust cleaned up too), and there’s a generously cushioned seat up top, covered in an eco leather. North East also built a new aluminum front fender, with a steel fender out back. The Dominator now wears a custom-made fuel tank that still uses the original filler cap. But they’ve had a major cosmetic overhaul. Since there was no need for any major performance boosts, both still run on original suspension, wheels and brakes. Diego and Riki managed to revive it without having to crack open the motor, and gave it the same pod filter conversion as the Honda.īoth bikes were destined to become daily runners-clean and minimal in design, with retro cues. When it arrived at North East it had a mere 7,000 kilos on the clock, but it hadn’t been started since 1992. The second is a 1987 model Yamaha XT600Z Ténéré (below). The engine’s spotless on the outside too now, and breathes through a pod filter. So it needed a lot of restoration work-including a full engine rebuild with a new rod, piston, bearings, and head. The first is a 1989 Honda NX650 Dominator (below) that was destined to be scrapped. The donor bikes arrived at the workshops in very different conditions-but both have been turned into low key, no-frills off-roaders. These two retro Japanese scramblers are the latest to roll out of North East’s workshop in Padua. So when they build out dirt bikes, they’re designed to be functional rather than precious. When I met them at the Italian Wildays festival a few years ago, they spent more time riding the enduro course than they did manning their stand. That’s because brothers Diego and Riccardo ‘Riki’ Coppiello are passionate dirt bikers. We’ve already seen the Italian outfit build cafe racers and street trackers-but they seem to have the most fun when they’re building scramblers. North East Custom have never been bound to one style.
