Title: 50 year old dirt
Post by: jacksonracingcomau on May 16, 2019, 12:47:53 AM
actually no record of when last used
but is low number 1967 with 5k miles on clock
front tyre looks original, drive splines like new etc
but caked on grime esp on gearbox truly stuck, took me over an hour to get it this clean.
more pics as I go, a canuck cutaway and made into table/bar would be perfect but semi assembled, showing a few bits more my (lazy) style. drinks cabinet where battery was
full list of parts and work needed for someone else to do but I’ll get most done

Inabarn, of course.  It had only been ridden to church on Sundays by a merry spinster.

Maybe speedo has 5K on it.  but with both later model rear drive and valve covers, other parts may have seen more of the world....

Still, old stuff is always good to find.

rear drive and rocker boxes on my tonti (just for the train spotters)
but quite a bit MIA
As said true history unknown, came from USA, tank dented ,pegs and levers bent, not from crashing IMHO but been kicking around sheds and shops since barrels pulled a long time ago
 no barrels , lh ss carb, exhaust, seat, one shock + more when I got it a few years ago
Oh I fibbed about the 5k miles, rounded it up
I believe this, wear on front tyre rings true
