I just made a deal for a new old bike. When I was three in 1958, my father would come home from the shipyards on the Tyne River on his bike and if I were lucky, my mother would take me to the top of the alley and we could see my Dad on the corner, I would run down and holding me onto the fairing, he would sprint up the hill. It was the precursor of loving motorcycles and so finding the same model (a1957), I bought it and will pick it up tomorrow. It will need a little work, and I can only hope that the speed and power from that 2-stroke engine that I felt in those days aren't lost once it is running.
Anyone want to hazard a guess as to the make and model? (a big clue is the engine type).
As soon as the right one is guessed, I'll answer, otherwise once it comes home tomorrow evening, I'll post a picture.
