It fits the description that when something looks right, it is right. How did some engineers successfully create sculpture and some created a mechanical dogs dinner.
If I owned the above, I would be tempted to have it on a mount in the lounge, but maybe not, as if I tried I wouldn't have a house after the divorce! |

Needed to be used so other people could enjoy it , not sitting my garage never being run.
Being a 500 single i no longer had the ability to kickstart it.
Its gone to north yorkshire, so if you live in that part of the world you might see it out in the summer.

You looked after it well,that must have been a hard decision to make. Three years ago I decided to go back to riding old British bikes in trials while I'm still young and strong enough to do it.(49 next month...) Am I glad I did,I always had British bikes as a kid and after school years.Really enjoying trials again with a 1950 rigid 350 AJS and a 1956 HT5 Ariel.
I hear they fit reliable electric starters to Vincents now - there's a thought ! |

A thing of beauty, real 'eye candy' for the discerning.
