Very nice! Thanks for the details. That head was a great score!... One of my neighbors up the road Tony P, is a Englishman from Leeds, and VERY forceful and opinionated. He also grew up in the end of the Rocker era and some amusing photos of him from back in the day. (He bears a strong resemblance to Roger Daltry)
But Tony confronted a owner of an alleged RGS many years ago at our annual "All British Field meet" which highlights cars, bikes and the range rover or 3. So Tony just gave the guy a endless amount of grief his bike was not real or correct as "Everyone knows a RGS has twin carbies!".
Tony rarely admits to being wrong, but he sheepishly admitted to me a few years ago he felt like an idiot years later to learn they are typically NOT dual carb.
We all like to tease him that despite owning a company that manufactures aircraft parts the lad cant pronounce aluminum correctly. He says we are the ones wrong.
Post away, post often. (just like a Chicago election, vote early & often) you have my vote for your lovely bit of "Balled up Ally" as Tony would say.
