Thanks guys. It was always my favourite as a kid and there’s so much story behind it. I’m pretty sure my grandad painted it with a brush on the dining room table.
Don’t think I’ll be taking my test on it. It had 10bhp back in 1935 but I’ve been told the horses were bigger back then.
I’ve been speaking to one of his mates who will be helping me out with the triumph and he’s told me all about ignition advance and retard. I also found out my grandad was a former president of the VMCC.
Any recommendations for a good starter bike? I’ve been having a look at Daelim VJ125.
