B31 Plunger

[Calum]

Here it is, my first bike! Took me far too long and due to covid I didn't get round to doing my license until far too late in the year. Any nice days at this time of year I seem to be at work(!)
Hopefully I'll be able to start using it a bit more soon.

I've already painted the headlight surround and mudguards, and touched up some other areas (the former bits were red and I didn't really like the look!). Plenty of bits I want to do, but runs nicely and has had lots of bits done already.

It's a 1953 example (1954 model year I think) but is wearing an earlier tank as far as I can tell. Previous owner liked the high pipes hence why it is fitted with one. I must say I like them too and it does sound well but the traditionalist in me keeps thinking I'll reinstate a standard pipe and toolbox (both of which came with the bike).

Yes vey nice, just the look I'm after but with ally mudguards, knobbly tires etc.

Don't blame you Bob the competition motors are great looking machines! Mine's just a pretender with the pipe. I would like to do some travelling on it so a standard exhaust would allow me to affix panniers on both sides and carry a little more luggage... it's only a few bolts to swap it over though so easily done if I do fancy a trip. I've seen quite a few of your videos on YouTube, lovely bike you've got yourself! I very much like the green models with painted rims.
