So am sitting at home recovering from hernia surgery spending too much time looking at internet sites.
Have some savings as planning on a new bike for next year....
Then I see a 1955 AJS Model 20 for sale by a friend of a friend...... it has had an expensive engine rebuild, is a really good price and not too far away in Fife, so one phone call and I am the proud owner of another old bike.
The owner has a Velocette and Vincent too, he has rebuilt the engine with a rebore, reground crank and all new bearings plus gearbox been rebuilt with new bearings, electrics all working and only faults are some surface rust on the petrol tank, the clutch basket could do with being replaced and the pressed steel clutch cover leaks.
I just could not resist it!
Just arranging to get it collected now.
