The bike was in “fairly good condition with some parts already sandblasted and powder coated black,” Benny said. This saved me some sleepless nights and spending my life savings on blown fuses and a hair transplant,” Benny told MotoFomo. I managed to track that down fairly quickly as one of my first tasks and the bike started up straight away. “One of the reasons why the original owner decided to sell it was because of an electrical issue. The original owner had bought it with the intention of spannering it up for his wife but life and an electrical gremlin got in the way and he lost interest in it leaving it to sit unfinished in a dusty corner of his shed. Benny even taught himself to shoot and took all of the stunning photos of this bike. He works on all sorts of bikes and is well-known for his postie bike conversions. He’s a programmer by training but loves bikes, getting his hands dirty and “filling his nostrils with WD-40”. More used to building bikes for other people, Benny Yee at Lanesplitter Garage couldn’t resist buying this one when the original owner lost interest.įor those who don’t know, Benny is a proper bloke in a shed. Picked up as an unfinished project, this Yamaha SR250 now takes pride of place at the Lanesplitter Garage in Brisbane. Inspired by a black-and-white poster of The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo this Yamaha SR250 farm bike has been transformed into a stunner by Lanesplitter Garage.
