    I race a 1952 Manx Norton that has a 1937 J.A.P. B4 speedway engine in it, the guy who bought the Norton new fitted the engine.

    Love the channel, subject matter and the builds! Couldn’t help though (as a Brit) being mightily distracted by your pronunciation of Prestwich and Villiers😆

      ​@@weemsmotorcolf you pressed a Witch she may then be described as a PressedWitch- easy.
      Villiers you just didn't pronounce the second 'l'- easy.

    My first bike was a 1956 Francis Barnett and it had a Viliers single in it about 200cc if I recall rightly. But I do remember it was a great running engine

    I had a 1938 OK Supreme 350 cc having a Pilgrim total loss oil pump. Often called a dead loss pump, I rode it for one summer and sold it for 15 pounds

    Nos ja tivemos uma JAP 600cc de valvulas laterais o quadro da moto era bastante engraçado o carburador de competição a pista não tinha entrada de ar tinha 3 gigleres um de baixa outro de media outro de alta ao lado da corente do dinamo de distribuição tinha uma embelema de latão dizia só usar oleo castrol no motor ... hoje em dia não se fabricam quadros dessa maneira são todos soldados e não são muito engraçados...

    when i bought it originally i was told it was a 1929, but never looked into it. But if it’s a 1928…. Why would you still say it’s a 29 🤔
