AJS & Matchless Owners Club

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

Morning Leigh, welcome to the madhouse

Leigh,

I have just joined too. I'm in Canberra. I have a 41 G3L basket case too.

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?

Leigh

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

Why? Don't they like each other?

Naughty.

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