I was looking for "the Rolls-Royce of Motorcycles". Which I always felt was incorrect, if a comparison was to be made with any contemporary vehicle, it'd have to be a Bentley (before Rolls-Royce snaffled them up in the 30s).

I remember reading in a 'Classic' motorcycle mag of a couple of seriously skilled mechanical types buildin a completely new Brough Superior from original plans but with an even bigger engine :shock:
In my typically weird fashion I rather like Panther Sloper type classic bikes. famouse for hauling sidecars and leaking oil all over the place.

I'd love to get hold of a Rickman Matisse Scrambler one day. No more slogging up hills in granny gear to get my kicks.
Had a bonza score on eBay today. Over the last few weeks I have been researching and drawing up lists of authentic parts for my GT40 project. Many parts came from different places (ie. Marchall headlights from a Citroen fitted into Vauxhall Viva HB mounts, and wiper assembly out of a Boeing airliner) on the original factory built cars and it's a big job sourcing them.
One part I though I would never find was the Identification lights fitted to the 68 Le Mans cars. Each car had different colours so the team could recogonise it's cars going past in the dark at 180mph. My research showed that they were an MOD item and were fitted to Spitfires in WW2. Not exactly something you would find at Halfords then.
So, today, Battle of Britain Day, I had a look on eBay and found a brand new pair still in unopened MOD packages. Even better they had a BIN of just £17.99.
Some days you just get lucky!

In a similar vein, my 'dream bike' as a youngster was a Cotton Python: The perfect union of the Cotton “triangulated frame” (precursor to the GT?) and Rudge's big 500 single.velomaniac":mc4izqg0 said:
Bit like this one (looks more like a 250).
