T160 revival take two
A sincere ‘thank you’ is in order for your ‘T160 Revival’ series in the Jan-Mar 2015 editions of The Classic MotorCycle. I too have a T160 that needed to be awakened from a 20-plus year sleep, and I must say your articles are what guided me through it step-by-step. My bike deteriorated from non-use almost…

Editor’s welcome
Last month, in the You Were Asking pages, Richard Rosenthal dealt with the enquiry from a reader, Terence Worthington, selling two motorcycles, asking whether he could legally enforce a stipulation the motorcycles weren’t restored once they’d been sold. Richard advised that unfortunately such a situation couldn’t be guaranteed, and once something is sold, then the…

Another cammy special
Reading the article in the April issue on the spring-frame KSS, I’m reminded of my own machine, which started life as a 1954 350cc MAC but with many upgrades. Another cammy special Richard Pelling’s rather lovely looking Velocette special, with Mk.2 ‘cam my’ KSS engine in an RS MAC frame. Drive chains and sprockets, clutch…

Another New Hudson
I really enjoyed your article on the New Hudson in the March 2016 issue, good pictures too. Please receive the small photograph of my 1932 model OI 493cc SV, one of only two to have survived I believe. I restored it about 20 years ago and it is still as good as new. The specification…

Oldest Aussie Rider?
I have been reading your mag for some time now and love its contents. At 91 David Griffiths is still enjoying riding. Good on you, David! I must congratulate the mention of the oldest Aussie rider in the February issue. I still ride and have copped enough flack lately about the numbers game. You know,…

Editor’s Welcome
During the course of putting this issue together, several things have stood out to me, or at least raised questions and prompted thoughts. When reading up about and researching for the 1959 Bonneville story (see page 58) a couple of things came to mind. Among them is the idea that 1959 was perhaps the most…
