Shamelessly purloined from anywhere , to make all feel inadequate & deprived . ( Except RD 350 riders ).
Aussie late 60s Version . Manx Chassis .
Old Hillbilly , in Tin Shed .
olde scruffy one .
looks Vaguely like Pukekohe . Note ; Wine Crate , not Beer Crate , for stand . Must keep the side up . :wink:
The bike is a Vincent engine in Norton featherbed frame. AJS 7R front forks and front wheel. Engine fitted with Goldstar Pistons, Vincent lightening cams. 1.1/2 inch GP Carburators, 7R racing seat, Ariel Arrow silencers with no baffles, we called it the Black Beast. You can see just below the seat a bulb hooter a legal requirement as an audible means of approach. This bike sounded like a spitfire in full flight. A super bike of its day probable speed of 150 mph. This bike is still alive and kicking and living in Northampton .
O.K. Egli , not f'bed .
if you would repeat this carefully , please .

A few beers later 9 and some time )
Did somebody say ' Beer ' . ? ( 1964 ) .
No , I was FIRST . :x
1000cc rapide 1 1/4 inch su carbs Vincent Lightening cam shafts, Norton featherbed frame, alloy tank and racing seat, BSA Gold star Clip ons and Silencer, running on Castrol R.
I was 17 when I brought the bike in 1965 influenced by George Browns Nero as I was a member of Stevenage sprint club and attended many sprints at Duxford during the early sixties, although most of the parts were present it was only partially built which allowed me to finish the build to my own specification and once finished I rode it for 18 months.
The Norvin was a great bike to ride once you had mastered the starting proceedure, also not to ride to slowly in traffic as the bike was quite top heavy, I can remember falling off after running out of petrol whilst looking down to turn on the reserve tap, it was fairly quick from stand still and once rolling the torque came in and it would wheel spin in second gear in the wet, I can remember seing 135mph, this is the only picture I have and taken in 1966 the rider is a relation.
