Na I was thinking of the crappy looking Rover V8 bike that turned up at the Bears race meeting. I think a seagull could have produced better welding on the rear swing arm and the rear axle im sure was a length of galv water pipe

If you are talking the bears at Ruapuna that was probable the guy who's got the Boss Hog franchise.That bike is probable 20years old by now so shit welding or not it's still going.

There's a pic of a Ford side-valve V8 one in one of the latest NZ Hot Rod magazines.

Silly me, didn't think it was Norton.

Didn't help that google images came up with plenty of 'Norton V8' pictures.
