Is that one a bike sounding as POT POT POT POT... ..when started?:D
..

I had to revisit this thread because I grew up with Matchless, AJS and Royal Enfield posters on my wall when a mere nipper.

Later I had altogther more expensive (but softer) rides put up.:shocked:

Paulo, your sound description would be better suited to an NSU moped, but a single 500cc would sound more like my all time favourite big banger: BSA Gold Star 350/500

This is the sound I wanted when I was 16 mate...

POT POT POT it is NOT :)

Thats the sound alright, my neighbooors (sic) are very tuned into it and someone called the cops last time I started it. They turned up had a look complimented me on the bike asked lots of questions about the GT40. Then said have a nice day and left. Good blokes.
 
Pete, maybe next time you need to start the 40 up with some straight through pipes, give em something to really complain about :laugh:

Very nice find, lucky bugger.
Finds like that are becoming rarer and rarer as now people expect everything to be worth a lot of money regardless of whether it is.

Closest I can get to that is a 48 3T Triumph, or a 61 Tiger cub :smoking:
