My Greeves has pretty much the same set up. Soon as the weather warms up, I'll be needing to strip and un-seize the springs.......

Re: Edinburgh Trial - Corkscrew Jenkins Chapel.
Thanks Hugh,
Would have posted myself, but I've been off the forum for a while because I've had computer issues.
I'd be there myself if I wasn't so far away.
All the best
Richard

Re: It's 1971 again!

I had a 1971 BSA B25 Gold Star...which that new BSA is cosmetically inspired by.
