Thanks

I now own the bike which is totally immaculate and used as often as possible. My grandfather and father often spoke of Bill.

The mechanics at that time were Alf Nickless and Phil Heath. When Matt Wright retired, to live in Shrewsbury I believe, Ralph Laycock took over the partnership with Doran. I purchased a new BSA 441 Shooting Star from them. What a disappointment that was, promised a lot but delivered very little, a dud.
