Nice bike Nev. I know what to look for now if I see it at a rally. There wouldn't be another one the same.

It's standard bar the addition of lights. I had it road registered around 1973, and my wife commandeered it after I lent it to her. It's built in June 1950 and I acquired it about 20 years later. The guards, stays, handle bars are original and the pipe and muffler are copied from the original. the magneto is a TT BTH which I still have. The original carb.fitted was a TT type ( side needle) Which I don't have. The "normal" catalogued carb is as I have now. An ordinaty AMAL. The tyres are 19x 400 and 21x 275 Dunlop trials universals,
I would like to thank John for putting it up on the sitefor me.. Nevhunter

I still have it and have given it a thorough clean for the Last couple of days and looking at it I'm glad it's still good and looks just the same as in the Picture and has Plenty of compression. John Shanks used to LOVE seeing it up and About. The frame is a bit short for comfortable Longer distance riding or high(er) speeds.Nev
