Left the Super Rocket and Shooting Star in the garage today and finally commissioned my 1937 M23 Empire Star.
Had done a couple of short runs following a lot of fettling and Beezermac fixing the dynamo, so went on a VMCC Men of Kent run today of over hundred miles (including to/from start point).
What an experience as my first long range outing without suspension units. My teeth are now where my nuts should be and heaven knows where the latter went!!
The little Emp was a joy to ride and a real head turner. It surprised me just how manouverable it was compared with the big lump of an A10. Minor problem with clutch cable saw me curtail and head for home a little early but a brilliant day!
Back on the Super Rocket tomorrow for British Bike Night at the Wagon & Horses in Charing, Kent.
