A few of us on here have used ex GP star Chas Mortimer http://www.chasmortimer.co.uk/  (http://www.chasmortimer.co.uk/) with great door to door results. Jonesy's got Chas bringing in some bikes from Sweden and the UK right now.

Looks like a Wasp to me (look at the rear wheel spindle) very nice never the less.

I have a pre-unit original 500cc Metisse that is going to be sold if anyone is interested.  Rebuilt top news new electronic BTH mag, Cerainis, ready to race etc etc British Racing Green
