Finally got my 1953 Tiger 100 purchased on a whim a year ago on TM on the road.
Lesson there is don't buy a bike that " needs re registering" unless it was imported pre 1999 as you need to jump thru
more hoops to get it re vinned. Fortunately I'm a member of the VCC so it was easier.
Turns out the 500 miles on the chronometric speedo is all its done since the rebuild in 1999.
Discovered that during the 2 hour exercise taking the rear wheel off, measuring the drum/linings and fitting a new tyre to replace the unused but perished one.
Time to catch the 7:20 into the city ....taking care of business and working overtime .....
