Today on BikeBound.com: “StarFire” 2200cc 5-Cylinder Radial, built from scratch by Tim and Cheryl Oakley of the UK.
Tim — an aircraft engineer — and Cheryl started building jet engines before they moved to the StarFire.
“It’s amazing what is happening in sheds around our little island. In fact Starfire was actually built outside on our decking through the brutal winter we had a few years ago in the snow.” -Tim
The donor bike was Cheryl’s Yamaha Virago 750, though there’s very little of the XV left! StarFire is something of a tribute to Tim’s father, an engineer himself.
“My father, an incredible engineer, saw the whole project through and it was the greatest honour for me to take him on his last ride out on StarFire to his final resting place — she did us proud!”
