Mike Middletons under construction '68 360 GP Monty. Mikes had this bike since new but it's lived the last 30 years buried in a hedge. Thankfully it's now coming back to life.

If the angular lines of the Montessa Metisse dont tickle your fancy then you can fit a body kit that utilises the curves of the Petite Metisse / MK3 Metisse.
The same kit also fits the Rickman Zundapp.
Talk to Firko, he'll tell you about it.
Flower Pot Men...Bill and Ben....the Penny just dropped :o. I'm getting a bit slower on the uptake the older I get Ben, I didn't realise it was you ;

I always go racing with my Dad, just in case there is a bike problem as he is the best Mr Fixer there ever has ever been. 
Typically we dont have problems (hope I'm not tempting fate there a bit)
A big consideration is ~ heaven forbid ~ there is an accident and I need help. 
The main reason is that he is a great bloke and my best mate.  We are a great team and I love spending time with him.

Oh, and his name? William.  Most people call him .........Bill

Bill and Ben ..... seemed like an obvious alias!

Ben I guess it's that I didn't expect you to pop up on this forum, being in sunny Bristol and all....and you didn't even mention it either, you naughty munchkin  ;D. It didn't even enter my mind 'til you mentioned me as a reference for the tank. I've sent you a PM.

He's a batchelor, as if it wasn't obvious with the bike in the living room. ;D
The funny thing is that the house is as neat as a pin and the bikes look right where they are!
