Newly acquired SWM
« on: November 25, 2009, 08:31:59 am »


I helped to uncrate this machine in 1974 when it first arrived in Australia, and now it is finally in my possession.
Very pleasing, and long overdue.
It is a 50cc ISDT replica.

WOW :o
I have wondered if that bike was still in one piece.
Great work.
Let me know if you want me to put up the whole T&T test.

I still have a pair of NOS desert boots in my wardrobe! :o No water stains or split soles - they are a thing of great beauty. They're sitting right below my lumberjacket....... :D

You're a fashion icon Can Am! I'll bet you've got a pair of Amco Bogarts and a Miller western shirt in there too!
Have you given any thought to how much for the swingarm?

Read the "owning problems" At least there are no "built-in obsolescence" but there are "extractors needed" on/in the ignition ???
