A handsome machine, beautifully restored with wheels from Wheelwise Engineering. More detail can be seen on the photo in the Gallery.

We are grateful to Ian Plumridge for supplying photos of his Honda 50cc RC115 Replica – one was taken in the workshop following the fitting of a new frame and the other shows the machine parading in Holland.

W H Dunkley manufactured prams at Jamaica Row, Birmingham, from 1874. Its portfolio was expanded during the Victorian era to include all manner of children’s toys and other products. The Whippet S65 scooter was introduced in 1958 and was promoted by John Surtees.

We have just received a photograph of an immaculate 1914 Triumph TT Roadster Type D and added it to the Gallery.  It has a  500cc, single side valve engine and a single gear, direct belt drive. The bike has been restored over a number of years and taken part in several Pioneer Runs for veteran machines from London to Brighton.

A photo of a Laverda 750 has been added to the gallery. Wheelwise Engineering supplied the wheels last year. These Italian bikes were reputed to be indestructible and this example is certainly testament to that!

You may have seen the article by Paul Gander on the restoration of the 1911 Triumph that had been owned by his grandfather, Tom Gander, which is included on our “Links to the Past” page.

Paul has now sent us a picture of the bike in a 1947 edition of “Motor Cycling”, being ridden by a SK “Keith” Rolfe from Cowbeech. “Maybe a relative?” asks Paul.

We have accumulated a number of secondhand components which are being offered for sale with 75% of the proceeds going to charity. In 2016, we are supporting two local charities: the Kent Surrey and Sussex Air Ambulance and the Sussex Weald Branch of the Royal British Legion.

Take a look here and see if there is anything which is of interest!

Wheelwise Engineering is pleased to announce that it is now able to supply Talon wheels and associated components, which are used by a large number of leading race teams throughout the world. More details are presented here.

Photos of two more renovated Kawasaki bikes have joined our gallery. The appreciative owner said:

“Thanks to your help, this Z650 is now back in shape and this (1967) A1 250 has been restored to its former glory.”
