I don't want it Alison, I'm using a Maico engine. Jonesy's the one you have to beat, I think he's paid for it already.

Alison, Alan eventually got the 405 Sprite engine but it cost him $200, double the asking price. When he saw the ad he immediately rang the bloke and when told that someone else had beaten him to the punch (also with a phonecall) Al offered him double the price and the bloke accepted. I've missed stuff on the Swapmeet myself by relying on email contact. Now, if I want something badly enough I call the guy. That's the lesson we've picked up with this wheeling and dealing. There's no substitute for talking to the seller directly.

Nothing to do with American Eagle whatsoever. In a nutshell, the Yankee is an OSSA 500 twin derived from two Phantom top ends on a common crank case fitted to a frame designed by Dick Mann.  Theyre as rare as rocking horse shit in this country and pretty scarse in the USA these days. Ken Smith's got a beauty.

That Yankee 500 would be the type of bike to get a run on "Top Gear" unplugged bars and all  :P

From that angle looks like a road bike with nobby tyres.
