Velocettes


Well I messed around with the bikes and they both run !  The girder fork bike started on the first compression kick and made a beautiful noise with that megaphone pipe.
The other bike took a bit more work, I just had to clean the ignition parts up and hold my mouth just right when I kicked it.  It smoked and puked oil all over the ground (now everyone will know which house is mine, look for the oil stains ) but smoothed out and ran good.  Neither bike had been run for over 25 years.

I sure do like the girder bike, it is fast and cool all at the same time !
