I last rode a Velocette in the 1960s. For forty years I have thought about
buying another one, but family and work priorities always seem to have got in
the way
It appears that I am now a Born again Biker.
I have recently purchased this 1959 viper. The machine has been completely
restored to a very high standard, the engine and gearbox by Geoff Dodkin in
1992/3, the frame and all fittings by the owners during the same period. The
bike has not been ridden since then. The bike when purchased in 1991 from the
British Iron Company was registered as WRG 159A. Frame number is RS 12565. It
also had a red tank and chrome mudguards.
If any member has any information regarding this bike I'd be glad to hear from
them. As soon as I can get the bike to start consistently, I do intend to ride
it.
