Kevmean, Old Chap, in picture 76/120, the names are wrong. From the left, it's Rawni, name escapes me but she was a delightful lady, me, Chris J (in baseball cap), Maz (in silly hat) and Norrie who is a proper two hat |

Ah, I only know her as Darkhorse, she is still delightful though
Has Woody had plastic surgery then? He looked just like a short version of CJ when I looked through beer goggles last night |

Here ya go Zac, this is my old NorVin circa 1977 - out of production for nearly 60 years, and you can still buy EVERY part brand new

One of the most beautiful engines ever made... I'm jealous.

Zac, while I obviously regret parting with mine, not least because the motor looked so good, they were ahead of their time with the high cam and very clever valve guide/forked rocker assembly, Vinnies were not all they're cracked up to be although a lot of owners who've spent upto $100,000 seem to be in denial about this. If you really want to see a beautiful V twin motor, check out the Cameron Engineering website where you can view the JAP V twins they build from new castings and forgings. I've got 2 of these motors, one as a spare and mounted for decoration (Mrs Crowley will no longer let me keep it in the lounge; she drew the line when I decided to keep my late fathers home built steam engine on the coffee table) the other is in my pre 1950 race bike. |

If you want to know about the most iconic British bike EVER, then check out the HURLEY PUGH website. I'll bet you've never seen one of those |

I understand regret -
Three vehicles I've let go: 1963 Split-Window Corvette 340HP/327, 1967 Lotus Europa S1 MkII, 1948 Indian Chief.
Oh well, I had them for a while...
