Norton, Triumph, BSA. All three should be fairly easy to come across in the U.K.

I would imagine that parts should be fairly common too. An old 70's vintage Triumph 750 Bonneville would be the cat's ass!

So who's buying it may I ask? They may be ok to find, but deep pockets to buy an good one, a REAL one. Triumph are being reproduced and Norton. Enfields are built in India under license. We know people with them or having them.

My brother has just sold his AJS jam-pot 350cc 1953. Although it ran he never got a road ticket before he decided to finally sell it (after years of nagging from my father who stored it in his shed). It's not such a popular bike on the circuits, parts are hard to find. He got £1200.

The thing with old British bikes is the clutch is on the other side to Jap bikes, so it is hard to swop over. My brother struggles to ride my bike. Also they 'mark their territory' (piddle oil). At Bike Night the quay is roughly sectioned off.
The first stretch is old UK classics (territory marked out on road with stains), side cars and novelty bikes (Chicken chasers, Bantems, Ariels, working bikes, ex-Army, Police and Post office, pushbikes with engines)
Then its the Custom jobs, Trikes and Disabled bikers (don't know what the organisers are saying).
Harley's on the round-a-bout leading off the quay
Goldwings on the other side of the round-a-bout
Classic Jap (Crap)beyond
Everything else squeezed along the water front (me and Philip)
Arrive too late, sent to Arena 2 on the fisherman dock.............

Hubby would love an Ariel, but a new car would be cheaper.
Someone buys me a Vellocette I would put it in the Dining room as an ornament.
