Hi Ron, nice frame, if only the MVT calendar was something like this..... Cheers the day up. Andy

What size number plate (and shape) should I get for the Harley? Any suggestions attaching and where to obtain one?

Ho Steve and John, thanks for the replies, totally agree with you both about originality, I'd rather run with a worn rundown piece of kit that has history than a new shiny piece of tin with no history. My friend in France has an original Jeep that he has let time take its toll, and it gets more looks than one that is factory finished. He's written on the side if it 'rust in peace' . I think I'll start looking for an M20 though I'm in no hurry. All the best and hope to see you at the shows, andy

Hello Steve and Ron, are you saying the M20 would be the next buy after the Harley? As being the most robust and value for money? Obviously being made in large quantities and having a postwar production does mean it being harder to find a wartime model that is relatively complete of postwar parts. Or am I being picky? BTW Ron I am I the MVT but am a total novice to bikes. I need educating? Regards Andy

Is the M20 reliable? Your Indian is sumwhat a rarity, I see there is one for sale on Milweb. regards Andy

Hi Steve, thanks for replying much appreciated. No I don't have any other bikes, this is the first of I hope many - provided the wife doesn't find out. I phoned one insurance company that used to insure the Jeep with, they wanted £311 for laid up policy and £230 for third party fire and theft! Nuts or what? I spoke to my insurance company I'm using for the Jeep and they offered £80 till renewal in March which seemed sensible seeing I'm new to biking. Anyway I might go with them. BTW if I was thinking of buying a British wartime service bike, what would be your choosing? Regards Andy

I'm looking to insure a Harley WLA and would like some feedback as to best/cost effective insurance? Any feedback welcomed

I know, seems it gets earlier each time. Must take a torch! It must be worth it if you do 300 mile round trip. I bought a Jeep steering wheel last time £45.
