i'm not a Morris owner (sorry
),but my friend who's a girl has fell in love with Moggy's after seeing a few at shows.i had a van and a traveller a few years ago,but now run a Herald 1200 convertible,and a couple of old-ish motorcycles.hope you don't mind a non-MM owner joining,but i always have a look at the messageboard,and thought i might as well join

Didn't buy it in Lancashire, did he? My old man (who passed away in November) had a Rudge Ulster which his mates helped him dismantle. It stayed that way until he sold it as what we now call a "project". My grandmother, who'd paid for the bike, was still talking about it at least thirty years later......

never had a Rudge,sadly
had a dozen or so BSA A.10s over the years,a couple of Norton Commando's,and loads of big'singles'.all worth a lot of money now.should of kept a couple,but hey ho..could always sell my Harley i suppose.still got my old sidecar chassis though,that we all used to use to avoid having to scream around on 250's,before passing our bike test.
