Hell yes, lets do it. You want to spin up a FB event?

i'd buy the front wheel if its a drum, maybe the rear too. ARe you parting it out?

CRAP, I forgot all about this. We have a local DTT on FB and ive been stuck in there. Well I'm still up for either a fall or spring meet up. I propose Glen Rose as the spot. They have the best damn bbq and hamburgers, the coolest beer gardens, and kick ass hill country roads. We can camp...

Hee Hee, I have a book from Mick Walker that supports my statement.....wanna see a quote? The manx was sold to the public, won more races, had a frame thats still used today, and was OHC. You know the featherbed came from a manx right?

Ive never been a parilla fan, they started out making copies of old Norton manxes. Can you see the similarity? Pity, the motors were kind of neat. Parilla put the cam half way up the block. 1962 Parilla Norton Manx
