Just found your site, I have a '66 G80 in a basket that I'm starting to restore, bought and rode the bike in 1980 and had more "smiles per mile" than any other bike I've ever owned. Looks to be a great club.

I have just bought a 1957 500 Twin Matchless & also enough spares to build a second 500 Twin AJS. Will concentrate on the Matchless first as it is complete and in running order but I will strip it and rebuild wherever it is nesecary to bring it back as new.

Ist time reader. I'mnot good with the computer yet but see it's value. I would like to know the email address of the web site to download free manuals etc. I found it once but my printer wasn't working correctly. Now I have a new one but can't find it again. I downloaded most of a Lucas generator repair manual. Thanks mswem@aol.com

Great site, didn't know that an AJS would make it that far! I am a "born again" biker and enjoy sports bikes, moto x, trials but most of all my 1955 AJS "Jampot" 18S. Can't wait for dry summer roads (if the rain ever stops)!
