You forgot to mention the nice Shaggin' Wagon in the background. Too cool on many levels.

I had one similar the girlie used to call it the Shaggin' Wagon too, I used to refer to it as 'The Fuck Truck' though

Oh god! Bloody norton singles had all disappeared by he time I was riding them, I have books on them around here but lets try and remember, 16H was a horrid flathead (which I'd like to have btw) big4 was a 600 flattie, so if its a 350 with the funny oil tank - what, 57 or 58 or so before the singles got the featherbedwhich was um, model 50 perhaps so that leaves... 19S??

Fucked if I know...

I had this...

Nice work indeed,love it.Great to see someone else that loves to tinker.Ive long been cursed with an old TL1000 that refuses any attempts made by me to be rid of it so i just keep spending utterly ridiculous amounts of money on the thing.Love that Thruxton.
