New member hello

Post by G3Leigh »

Ah hello
Im just introducing my self as I've just joined, In a fit of excitement I have bought a '49 G3L basketcase.
Im in for a big job and am yet to decide what direction to take with these milkcrates full of rusty parts.
I also have a '88 Harris matchless. Hoping I can breathe some life into the harris section which seems a bit quiet.
Theres a couple of other bikes in the shed also, a triumph, a honda, a suzuki and a little brockhouse corgi. so this g3 is the
second bike Ive got thats a bit military gone civilian.

Im west of sydney in Australia, looking forward to meeting other matchless enthusiasts. we'll see how I go having a registered machine for the annual rally
Cheers
Leigh

Good to hear from you Al
I've stalled already, lots of cleaning up but theres no finding parts with all our swap meets cancelled.
a '41 sounds neat, it'd be a rigid right?

From memory there are quite a few members scattered around the vastness of Australia.

Naughty.

It's a big place ain't it? I wonder how many times the UK would fit into the Australia landmass?
