Hi
New to the forum so be gentle with me....
Just purchased my first British bike (1948 T35)....runs, but let's just say it's in "Un-restored" condition rather than concourse....went out for first ride on it today (interesting to say the least). Got a real wobble on initial acceleration but once going seems to ride very well indeed. Gear change is going to get some getting used to (hope I don't trash the box whilst getting used to right foot 1 up and the rest down?)...bit notchy but overall I'm really pleased with it
Grandfather did his apprenticeship at Douglas in the early 30's before joining the Navy, so got a bit of family history that mean't that I've been after one for a while..... He also used to rides trials competitions and moto-football for them
No doubt loads of questions.....I'm not particularly mechanically minded so I'll apologise in advance for all the questions that may seem ridiculously basic to some of you..... as I said please be gentle with me
Cheers
