Hello from the little village of Kinlochleven in Scotland, between Glencoe and Fort William. I was a member of the forum several years ago under a different ID but lapsed, though still been checking in regularily over the years.
I started riding bikes many years ago with a BSA C11G which was thrashed mercilessly round the farm and was soon replaced with an ex-WD Matchless G3L for the same purpose.
I then got an old S/A B33 which I converted into a scrambler and used it for scrambling, grasstrack and sand racing then subsequently converted it into a Tribsa. I was by then riding a BSA Road Rocket on the road and converted that into a sidecar outfit for the same purposes, using Douglas Dragonfly forks.
An Elstar J.A.P.500, a Hagon BSA C15, and a 250 Greeves were subsequently added to the stable and I rode these until marriage and a family got in the way.
I still have the Elstar, the Greeves, a 1974 Triumph Daytona, a 350 Triumph/Greeves and the Road Rocket engine and gearbox. (The cycle parts of the outfit were written off in a spectacular crash which caused my 8 month pregnant wife to insist volubly that I stopped racing).
I am now retired and on my own and have thought for some time about finding cycle parts to rebuild the Rocket but I also have had under my bench the cycle parts from my Triton which ended it's life with a terminal engine blowup so I have been messing around on and off with the idea of building a Norbsa.
And here endeth the story for the time being !!.
A few pics attached relevant to the story.
