Wheaters; Hope I speak for all on this forum, thanks for the info and pics. v..e..r..y cool stuff. Must say old bean, I'm a wee bit jealous? btw, I owned, for a brief time, an Austin MKI, I was told at the time that it was a factory racer, but I never did verify that. What I do know about it though, had the same motor as a 3000 and a very sparse raw aluminum interior. Always regretted selling that one! But I was young, dumb and needed the money. Dusty
Yea, same here. My first was a 54 chevy convertible that I got for $75, sure wish I'd hung on to that one!
That Nighthawk 750 is an awesome bike, I had one for 4 years before I traded it for a larger bike. I had a Ford Cortina when I was stationed in England. I kept having Carb problems with it, but it got me to work and back.
They're pounds sterling. Every time I mention cars or bikes my wife sees them in front of her eyes and says something like your username!
A case of two cultures separated by a common language? I presume they both mean the same thing. P.s. Wasn't "Thumper" a rabbit in a Disney story? Bambi, I think..
Yes indeed, but on this side of the pond a thumper is a large single cylinder motorcycle (300-500cc's)
Some people over here use the same description. If you look up Banger racing on YouTube, you'll get the idea.
