Good evening fellow Scottists.
Sorting through some of my late brothers documents pertaining to his (now ours) 1960 Brum, I have come across a bill for work carried out at Aerco Jigs and Tools. It had new conrods,crankpin bushes,rollers,barrel and pistons. Plus new bottom and second gear. That must have been some disaster for a motor that was just 7 years old;. The bottom line was £53 10 bob. The previous owner was a Mr Short of Romford. I wonder if the gentleman is still with us, as I would like to complete the bikes history.
Just under a thousand miles covered in 8 months,after a ‘rest’ of over 30 years. Not all trouble free,but she always got me home. Its been a fairly steep learning curve. A few bits to tidy up over the winter, and we will be ready again. May I be the first to wish one and all a Happy Christmas and a Scott filled New Year .
Best wishes from a chilly South West France
P.s It was the AGM of my local club last sunday,and I am the most remote of the members at something like 30 miles from our base. The only one to turn up on a bike !! Scott of course. French softies 😀
