Here is my new project. It's a 1968 Wards Riverside Mojave 260. It's actually a re-badged Benelli that was sold through Wards Department Store catalogs.
Fresh from a barn where it sat from about 1970 until two weeks ago.
Yep. It looks rough. From what I've been able to gather there aren't a lot of them around any more. Unfortunately that makes restoration/parts availability more of a challenge.

Anybody got any extra Mojave parts laying around?

Geez, I just hauled a truckload of Mojave spares off to the dump. Couldn't seem to GIVE 'em away...








:mrgreen: :mrgreen: Just kidding, of course.

What a cool project! Good luck with it, and keep us posted!

Oh man, Kirk. You almost gave me a heart attack when I read that! I'll post more as it progresses. Unfortunately I think progress is gonna be slow. I have a couple of parts sources but time and money (or the lack of both) are always cramping my obsessions.

Absolutely dig it. Should be a cool project.

That IS pretty cool, been a long time since I've seen one of those. I wish you luck on your quest.


Take care, Bill

That made me laugh out loud.

Cool bike... look forward to seeing what you're able to do with it.
