There's now a better place to
get advice on your Velocette!
Use the Velo Technical Forum run by Dai Gibbison
The Technical Forum complements (and will one day probably replace) this Q&A
section of our site.
It is "pro-active", because when you post a Q, it
gets e-mailed to everyone else who has registered as a member of the Forum.
Click HERE to find out how it works.
A compendium of contributions to the Forum up to the end of 2002 is available on
Word format; or one that includes contributions up to the end of 2004 is
available in PDF format. Please click:

Les Carman that consolidates the original threads to the end of 2002, or
HERE for a PDF version contributed by David Liebl
that reorganizes the threads to better match the original discussions and
includes 2003, 2004 and the first half of 2005 in addition to 2002.
