If I have done my maths correctly (probably not) then you bought your bike in 61', that has to be some sort of record not only amongst forum members but everywhere, well done.

What year is yours ?

Welcome to the forum, I am sure you will find it very helpfull.

Hey. thanks for the welcome guys. Maybe I should have said around 18 or 19 don't remember exactly ,I am the second oner barring the main dealer its been a long time.The bikes a 1960 Brian originally cost me £100 bearing in mind you could buy them for a few quid upwards then.Been cleaning bits & pieces this afternoon keep doing a bit & it will get there, cheers and thanks again.

Perhaps there should be a thread based on riding Brit bikes in the swinging 60's - Stories and experiences ?
