Do you see what you've done here Danny? Advanced to post-war, and raised motorbikes, that's what! With apologies and hopes to read the post-war career.
@ lasernigel and mikehallam. It's a Venom Clubman, easily capable of the ton (not that I ever did that, against the law you know hahaha). It came with a fairing and the reverse cone megaphone. I ditched the fairing (hence the headlight taped on, awaiting a proper mounting). The mega looked (and sounded) much better than the fishtail, so I kept that.
DBD34=Gold Star. Triumph twins were faster for about 10 minutes, until the pistons melted, and the vibrations caused the headlight to fall off and the footrests to unscrew. The Velo had long legs and could keep up 70-80 all day.
/Diversion over. Danny, please give us more post-war. I have a couple of observations from my late father-out-law (the other side) but I don't want to thread-bomb any further.
