Hi Nortonist,
It's good to hear from you. You've been on my list of 'must contacts' for a while now
Every time I look for Weslake info online I end up on one forum or another with you and either your featherbed bike or your sidecar outfit!
I won't be bringing the Model 18 though - I picked up a 90% complete Weslake 500 OHV motor last week.
Kind of an 'insurance policy' really, as I'm really looking for a complete Wessie speedway bike as a base.
I'm also looking at a couple of oddball vintage Italian road machines as well though so anything could happen just yet.
500 P-PV looks tough even for a Manx, what with that 750 Indian flathead record.
You run in A-PG with the Wessie don't you?
Last question, one of the old bikes I've been considering has its original 1955 motor & frame but has been turned into a 'cafe racer' style bike sometime in the past. Am I right in thinking this would rule it out of any Production classes & push me into M-VG? It's OHC so M-PG is out.
