What I'd need fistly are technical details ideally a copy of a registation doc. with lots of details. Please fax a copy to +49 9122 76431 if you can help me, Thank's a lot and kind regards Jurgen

Converting a 51 18CS scrambler to a "street scrambler" which means a low pipe and a dual seat. Having much trouble making the headpipe-to-muffler connection; the pipes all seem to want to go right thru the 25 lb cast iron footpegs. Anybody have a suggestion? I believe the US club does NOT know of annother Matchless G-11 roadster that I have in the family; I think they only show 2 in the USA. Also have and ride a Bultaco T, a Greeves TFS, an MAR OSSA, a B-40T BSA, and other pieces my wife has yet to get a full count on. My son has a g-11 Matchless that you may not know of.

My AJS is a runner, but needs a few ods and ends before it could be used regularly. I like thumpers.

Join the Vintage Racing circuit in the UK where you can watch Big Ben Graham thrashing hell out of his 350 - beast of a machine with a non-existent front brake. Great fun is always had by all! Does anyone race these machines in the US?

HELP!! I need all the information (and pictures too)I can get about the Matchless G11 CS 1958. It´s my dads birthday today and he is thinking of buying a bike like that, but he wants to know more about it first. He has got a Matchless G80 s 1954 and a Matchless G9 1953 and my mum owns a Panther 1953. I prefer real horsepower....:-) Please, help me find this information. I would like to surprise my dad for his big day today. Thank you! hillary.andersson@uppsala.mail.telia.commmm

First time checking the web site - very impressive! I especially appreciate photo of unrestored '67 G80GS - I can use as a reference for the muffler bracket I need to get made for mine. Had a nice long ride on some great Michigan backwoods dirt roads yesterday. What a joy! The old thumper has never run better, and I've had it 24 years.

Always owned an old Triumph, but thought the G80 Matchless was a beautiful thing. I live in the Northeast US. If anyone knows of a street worthy Matchless/AJS going begging, let me know.

I have just inheretted an racing AJS in excellent condition which I believe is a single cylinder 500cc from the early 1960's. My Dad David Berry used to race up until 1962 but acquired this bike in the late 60's early seventees. I wish to restore it into full racing form and to its former glory. Any specialists who can help me with identification, publications and ideas... I would be happy to hear from you. I will soon create a site at http://www.citec.co.za/ajs/ so everyone can see my progress and lend a hand. Lets call it a virtual restoration process. This forum (project) should be great for enthusiasts - the bike is in excellent condition. Fax : +27-11-7874259
