It was really too heavy, but all the guard’s, chain, clutch cover etc had been chrome plated, it had the up swept exhaust pipe and silencer which still had the original chrome on it in great condition, despite the heat shield it gave me some nasty burns. I ran it with the original rear tire. The other was a postwar B31 from the early ‘50s someone gave me it.
I used to go to Silverstone and Brands Hatch to see the bike races. There is something special 8happening when you get the air filled with the smell of Castrol R.
