Welcome to the Marbles Motors website.  As a matter of  introduction, my name is Randy Marble and here you will find information about my motorcycle and car hobbies....or habits.  Throughout this website, just click on any of the pictures to take you to more pictures or to enlarge the images.  

This site started out as a way to showcase some of my motorcycles and the restorations that I have performed on them.  From there, it has grown to be a place to put a few extra parts & motorcycles for sale and to showcase my restoration services.

Please be aware that this is a part time gig for me.  I do the work on bikes on the weekends and some evenings.

The recent motorcycle craze started out as "I sure would like to have a little SL70 like I had when I was 13", and that has turned into quite a little collection and a lot of stacked up projects.  I owned several motorcycles over my 'formative' years and I'm now re-living some of those memories.  You will see that I am a bit 'driven' when it comes to the quality of what I turn out, but in the end, these bikes deserve the attention and I have a good time learning and attempting to do each activity a bit better than the time before.  

At the top left is a menu structure which will guide you through my website.  You will find Cars, Bikes and plenty of information that I've shared on techniques and parts.  I have found that it is nearly impossible for the website to keep up with the actual activities, so if there is something you don't see or want to know about, just drop me a line.

I also have a section for bikes that are gone from the stable as well as a place for posting bikes for sale and parts for sale.  I don't want to turn this into a miniature auction house, but from time to time, I have extra parts that I probably won't need.....(famous last words).

I do perform Restorations for others and you can find information about that under the "Restoration Services" item on the menu.

You will see from the pictures of my collection, that I like a very specific style of Honda's and most of them SL's.  And on the SL's, specifically those years where the gas tanks have the single 'sail' stripe across the top.  I endeavor to collect and restore at least one example of each of these, but my passion is still with the SL70.  I remember being 13 and the magazines touting that Honda had finally made a real motorcycle in a small package.  I think I wanted one of those bikes more than anything else ever.  Ok....maybe not...but let me live my dreams!

My history on bikes started out at age 11 with an Alexander Reynolds Mini Bike that was purchased at the local Montgomery Wards store.  It had a 3 1/2 HP Tecumseh engine with a centrifugal clutch.  From there to the Honda Z50 K1 and then the SL70 (I got my drivers license on this one), and then up to the all powerful 21.5 hp and noisy Kawasaki F7 175 2-stroke.  The motorcycle craze continued from there to many other bikes.  The Menu item titled "Old Pictures" takes you through the early years.

Spending money on cars has also been a problem and I've put an "Automobiles" section on the menu.  I always had a love for the Ford Mustangs...Shelby's....Cougar Eliminators and the Pantera, but now my blood gets boiling by driving my new Corvette Z06.

Enjoy the website, and if you want to contact me for anything please use e-mail first.              randy_marble@hotmail.com

Stay tuned for many new and exciting things as the website matures.

You Gotta love a man that likes Honda Dirt Bikes.
