hi all, dave c from evesham
« on: 03.06. 2018 10:33 »
just a few words introducing myself, i have built my 52 star twin from bits, took me a long time and very expensive way of doing it , its taken me over 30 years to get it on the road but i done it! i had it with a sidecar when i first got it on the road about 1984 as i had not passed my test, it had parts of everything from friends shed clearouts and jumbles then i stripped it down . 2 house moves and numerous autojumbles later with a few pattern parts its back, all the time i have been working on it i have been using an unrestored 1962 A65, so now i have 2 bikes, with all the stuff i bought by mistake and collected i have about 90% of another flash that i keep thinking about building, maybe this winter. thanks for all replies to my first post regarding gearing
