Forgot to ask.......tried a Want Ad on the Norton OC (or similar) web site? Thats how I found my WDG3L and other stuff (via AMOC). Amazing what the old boys have squirreled away (of course, WE, are not old boys!). Via that, I was put in touch with Jack Dienst (ex-DR and self published irreverent author!) who lived locally......alas he had just sold the last of his bikes, a 16h, his favourite as it happens, but I got lots of advice and a NOS helmet.
Hi Ferg thanks for the reply again :) yeah got one up on the noc and just paid to put one on milweb as well so we shall see what turns up thinking of going along to Stoneleigh in February as well.
Haha yeah I got my 650ss like that from the original owner who had owned her since 1967 which was amazing still in touch with him as well from when I got it when I was 22 just turned 30.
Always great to meet people like that, said to dad things always seem to turn up when you least expect it sure the right bike is just round the corner.
Got to sit on a Wd 16H today and look at all the dispatch riders gear thanks to a friendly owner who invited me over to have a look at his got me even more excited now as I know I fit on one even though I'm tall! Very humbling as well thinking about what the bike may have been through!
Really can't wait to get one of my own an start cranking the miles on.
Learnt an endless amount today about the details to look for always amazes me just how brilliant the bike community is
Was amazing as his dad had served in Egypt an so did my Grandpa who was in the 8th army. Who's the main reason I'm hunting for one miss him alot.
Thanks again mate very much appreciated.
110% convinced the 16h is the right one for me out of all the wd marques look forward to getting along to all the events an rallies when one turns up.
