Nice! My Bro-in-Law built something similar back in the '70's using a Matchless 500 motor. He used it for motocross and as long as he had a long enough downhill to bump-start it - the compression was such that it had to be bump-started in top gear - it was a rocket! Somewhat short-lived rocket though...

It was more likely built as a scrambler in the '60's - converting a rigid or plunger to swingarm was pretty common.It has the later swingarm gearbox....and without a better look,I reckon those are the bigger BB barrels,rather than the smaller finned ZB or ealier for 1950.

But I'd certainly have it...if he moved the decimal point one place to the left.

After reading the title I was expecting to see some old slapper in a mini skirt.

Pretty impressive bike. Looks great in Yellow.

Impressive knowledge. But had not expected anything else.
