  1. Unfortunately records for RAF motorcycle serial numbers are non existent. I have a few shots of wartime Ariel W/NG's in service with the RAF. I used these pictures and artistic licence to mark my own RAF Enfield. Ron
  2. I see Peter Long at Cornucopia is advertising on Milweb and has original Triumph field stands. Ron
  3. I would have to do a bit more research regarding the makes of pumps fitted originally. A couple of jumblers got together and had a large batch of nicely made repro pumps made, in about eight different sizes. I managed to furnish any of my bikes without pumps, with these repros. Unfortunately they are all sold now with no intention to repeat the order. Personally I wouldn't worry too much about a make as long as you can find the right length. Ron

    Likewise I don't know all the differences. But apart from the MK1 not having a rear fender. The petrol tank pressings are different at the rear, and therefore also the frame attachment points. Also the first pattern MK1 tanks didn't have the filler cap on the left tank, which necessitated the removal of the pump from the right hand tank to fill with fuel. Also I don't think the MK1's had a contract plate as fitted to the MK2's on the plate at the bottom of saddle tube. Here is my MK1. Ron
  5. Hi Jenkinov. Yes the carrier is real. It took some getting! It's only the second one I've ever seen. In these pictures I still have my previous home made carrier fitted. Ron
  6. Hello Guy. Here is my 3SW. 3HW in background with welded lug. Ron
  7. Hello Jack and others. I thought it's about time I popped my head in the door. Jack seems to have forgotten my long term involvement with Weymouth! Probably because I haven't got one of those 'Man's Trucks'. Anyway I was on motorcycle convoy duty at the last A&E and a few will know me. But due to this years clashing of dates, my whole weekend will be taken up with the organisation of the parade at Weymouth. I'm pleased that we were able to persuade Weymouth council to see fit and allow the extra vehicles from A&E. These extra vehicles and lack of space will create and interesting challenge.....But we love it. Look forward to seeing you all at Lodmoor at 9am. Regards Ron Pier
  8. I took a tentative look here a couple of years ago when my son gave his old man a computer. I'm slowly getting used to it now, and I already recognize names from other forums. I'm in Poole, Dorset. My interests are mainly WW2 British forces vehicles, equipment, uniforms etc. I have some rare and interesting vehicles, but what has become my main passion, is owning, riding, restoring WW2 military motorcycles.
