Stuart Price's Bridgestone
Collection
The before and after photos of the Huricane Scrambler 175 show what a
transformation it went through. It had been standing outside in America, leaning against a barn with the
carburettor covers off. It even had a tree growing through it which had to be cut down before the bike could
be removed.
Of course every moving part was totally seized, but I didn't mind because originally I bought it for spares only.
But then I had a rush of excitement one day and decided to restore it. I use it on the road rather than show it and
it lives to see another day rather than be confined to the scrap heap.
The little TMX 100 was just a bare frame, half an engine and a petrol tank when I bought it. I sourced the parts
over a period of four years and it's now on the road. A cracking little bike and loads of fun to
ride.
