Thanks for great site. I don't belong to any club but am a great fan of Brit bikes. I have two 350 AJS's circa 1953 &54. One a 16MS and the other I believe to be a grass tracker with smaller tanks & seat. I also owned a 1954 Norton 500 featherbed wideline frame and a BSA C11G, 250cc.My everyday bike is a 1979 Honda CG 125. Keep up your goodwork, Richard

I ride a 1932 AJS TB6 "Big Port." I'm interested in hearing from other owners of 1920's & 30's AJS motorcycles, especially anyone who has the same model as me as I have yet to find another one out there. Also, I organize a classic bike run called the Moto Melee. It's based out of San Francisco and is held in June, check out our website at www.motomelee.com.

My father owned a matchless 500 circa 1952. I have an old black and white photo with a double sidecar taken around 1955. I am very anxious to identify the year and model with the idea of purchasing one that is functional and unrestored so I can gain the experience and fun of restoring it myself. If anyone can assist me in the identification of this bike, I will be glad to send a copy of the photo. Thanks.

Interesting to hear about so many Matchless / AJS still running in the US. I am owning a special one, recompleted with Horex parts (wheels and forke) when I bought it. The entire electrtic I built my self (ignition and dynamo) due to the "reliability" of the Lucas parts. It doesn't look original but is more a bike for every day. If somebody needs some tips for worne out rockers or automatic ignition timing, write me a mail.
