Gents,

There is another scammer around. Had this email from a charles williams via my 16H forum.
"Let me know if you are still interested in M20 parts you requested . Send me an email if you are still interested ."

The only thing missing is the revelation of a warehouse full of bits!!

be warned

Cheers,

Rob

He even had an Indian 741B to sell me too!

A friend of mine is thinking of selling his 741. I'll get a ball park figure later. Email me for his contact details if interested.

Here's mine which is not for sale. Ron

I have a picture of my friends uncle who rode a 741 in Normandy where he was with the RAF

His assignment was to retrieve glider pilots & get them back to the beaches
Interestingly he became a monk in later life

The controls on an Indian, along with its weight, are enough to make anyone become a monk....:laughing: ...Ian

They look complicated for sure Ian

Father columbanus’s unit took a real pounding somewhere in Holland / Belgium on New Year’s Eve time 1944/45

He returned having being away & found a number of his pals dead or wounded - after the war back in Dublin - he kept thinking of why he was spared in the conflict & particularly after that close one
So - he grabbed a new uniform & became a capuchin monk spending much of his later years in a monastery in Waterford

I saw him interviewed on telly as he crossed to Normandy on one of the big anniversaries- the 50th I think - where HR herself & Prince Philip made a bee line for him in Portsmouth where he was with other DDay veterans
Never got chance to meet him but he sparked an interest in me about southern itish volunteers in WW2
Next year I hope I can find where his unit was based during the Normandy campaign

For the sake of sanity, I swapped my twistgrips so that the throttle is on the right. I'm quite sure this would have been done frequently for British riders. It is written that one batch was fitted with Norton 16H bars.....God knows how that worked??

The myth that the left side throttle was so that a police officer could use a pistol whilst in hot pursuit is Boll*cks

PS, the 741 engine is lighter than an M20 engine, and are just as bullet proof!!
