I have owned my 1960 Super Rocket since 1966 and was in regular use until 1983, a career change etc saw her being laid up, put away in my cold damp garage until now, criminal I know. Having recently retired our dream is to get back on the road together, so having spent the last few months researching we have begun the restoration. Already feel part of this forum having spent hours revisiting our biking days with you, its certainly easier now finding info, easy also recording step by step guide, so our journey begins.

& welcome to our little corner of the internet. the words of chairman Mao, "every journey begins with a single step" and 'every forum begins with a single post'. We've come a long way here since then. |
