What's funny is that we didn't realize that we all parked them according to year haha.

My 78 is out front and everything else gets older.

Visually very sharp! I just can't get past (on this one and many others) the dropped rear end. That tire has to hit the license plate, or else the rear suspension is severely limited. And if so, doesn't that defeat all the "cafe" goodies?

+1 on the rear ride height, also the indicators look way too big.  Do like the Manx style tank though.

Agreed, surprised it hasn't got a 16 inch rear wheel as well, wack decent length shocks on it and i would ride in a heartbeat.... ;D ;)

I have the same pics, got them a couple of years ago, it has an aluminium tank and the swingarm is made somewhere in England, i think it is a JMC swinger, I think the bike is also in England.

..... and , although my memory fails me regularly (.... bloody '70's ;-) ) I'm sure I've seen this very schmick unit over at .......... motorcyclepictureoftheday.com , quite a while ago.
The thing that made it odd, in my mind, was that it was quoted as being in Malta!
This bike looks like it'd do a 100km circuit of the tiny little island, which is about correct, in no time flat.

Regardless, it's been truly inspirational in the build of my old #$%*ter.  
 

I have the same pics, got them a couple of years ago, it has an aluminium tank and the swingarm is made somewhere in England, i think it is a JMC swinger, I think the bike is also in England.

It's cheaper to learn from someone else's experience but first you have to learn to tell the difference between a fact and a Furphy.
