It is a real fast race machine dennis, not sure what you are seeing as a mirror stem, it had no mirrors last I saw it.
The rider seems to be clad totally in white. ::)

Hi Sam as you know its my bike . I loaned it to Wattie Brown (great bloke ) may i add , and have known him for over 32 years. Well he needed a signiture for his Manx GP course licence , because his Petty Manx had bent a valve. You know, Sam us folk from up North, well he went out on it at East Fortune and fell on some oil. I have been working on it since we got back on Sunday night and i can tell you its ready to go to Germany to race with the Dutch Classic Club this week end. I would loan my bike again to Wattie if he needed it.
Will see if i can get a pic of it finished, its a little scraped but ok !!!
ps Watties ok to.

Wattie is a great bloke, he was racing in a England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland chalenge many years ago. My mate dumped his 350K3 and Wattie loaned him the parts to rebuild it, he went on to beat them all, real nice guy Wattie. 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8)

Well he needed a signiture for his Manx GP course licence , because his Petty Manx had bent a valve.
