I located this one in Florida, and it arrived today. Completely restored and correct. Started right up after 35 or 80 kicks!

Needs some fresh gas and fettling, but did around 25 miles around the Shore on a lovely spring day, and I'm impressed. Really light and nimble compared to today's bikes, complements my Hinckley Bonnie, and more civilized than my Norton P11.[Image: ba81d5ceb7948171bfdec34b74abff93.jpg]

They really don't make them like that anymore. What a classic. In think a young Clint rode that one around Central Park in one of the most classic motorcycle chase scenes of all time. The movie was called "Coogan's Bluff".
