classic motorcycle forum

and seat looks like Indians or Harley 30's, 40's

hi, i'm very glad to post it on this great forum,
I am writing you in regards to any potential opportunities for employment.
I am extremely passionate about classic, and antique cars and motorcycles.
The smell of motors, car  interiors, and the gorgeous designs of these
classic machines drew my interest years ago and I have been working with
them ever since.  I am pursuing opportunities to work with cars and
motorcycles as I cannot imagine my future without them.  Two years ago, I
completed a one year course of automotive mechanics, receiving a
certificate.  Following this completion, I worked to restore some vintage
Russian, Czech and Hungarian motorcycles and continue to do so to this day.
At the moment, I am living in the Republic of Moldova. I am eagerly looking
for employment to follow my dream to become a mechanic.  I am interested in
learning more about any employment positions you might have available.

Please let me know if you have any opportunities,

Cristian Arapu

It is similar like a russian "IJ 350"


or "IJ 9"



or "IJ 49" fuel tank is similar



but it's not a russian or czech motorcycle, it is a TRULY AND VERY VERY RARE MODEL "Victoria" motorcycle!!!!!!!!

I'm waiting for your questions

Hello, David! when i was seen your post, i answer to it fast, because your question is actual at the moment for many classic and antique motorcycles owners. I have a few motorcycles and one of these is called Pannonia T5 (1974) it was made in Hungary. I bought this bike in the very bad condition + little surprise, it hadn't a registration numbers and documents but! at the moment i restored it engine and suspension, But, how it is normally for this bike and for many classic bikes, it have a troubles with ignition by the old mechanism, i was thinking about it, to put on engine a electronic ignition, because when it bike was new, it not had a problems with ignition but time and rust and many time of working make a bad job to this bike.
If the new electro-ignition was not spoil the classic looks of bike, it is a good idea, i can help you, on the many russian forums was posted the many methods  how to make a electronic ignition by yourself
I drove on this motorcycle through the streets in my town)) huh! police wasn't  meet me
