NEW MEMBER - 1960 G3

Post by RHT45 »

Hi everyone
There doesn't seem to be a section for new members to announce themselves, so here I am - a member since earlier today, living in Shropshire and with apparently no other members nearby. I bought a 1960 Matchless G3 last month and just have to get it going... The previous owner had it for over 3 years but after riding it for a while, decided that 12v would be better than 6v, so gave it to an "expert" to sort out. 3 years later the "expert" went out of business and the owner reclaimed the bike minus silencer, rectifier and various other bits, and the new wiring loom had been butchered. I'm now assembling the bits needed, so am hoping to get it going this side of Christmas.
The bike was originally AFS, according to the previous owner, or perhaps more accurately his predecessor, who had it in Devon for quite a long time. That page on the Club website invites owners of AFS bikes to click on "Contact us" with details of a bike, but if it's there, I can't see it.... Any help in that direction would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance and I hope to see/meet some of you in due course.
Richard

I didn't attend a meeting this week. I don't think there's a section anywhere near me in Shropshire. I couldn't find any way of contacting the AFS register on the website - any clues anyone? I am going to Specsavers on Thursday! :lol: :lol:
