[QUOTE="Marcus Bowden, post: 167178, member: 3287"] Tony Wilson got to know[I] J[/I]ohn Waltham as Old Harry was loaned to John to take Phil Erving in the 1980's international rally there is a picture of Phil astride it on the front cover of MPH when it still had the lightweight Webbs forks and 21" composition front hub and magnesium brake plates, racing mag, wrap around s/s oil tank and composition rear wheel, we met at John's place the late 80's with Harry Cox to swap all the racing stuff for standard equipment as I didn't have a petrol / oil tank, or primary chain case as all the engine plates had been made shorter for racing, Harry had already given me the bike as he couldn't manage it any more. 1999 I met Jeff Smith at Quarter Bridge paddock where the parade lap started from and he was all over Old Harry as Harvey was riding it for the parade and wanted to build one so I let him have an "A" Comet RFM but never saw the finished project 2018 did a full lap around South Island after attending the annual rally in North Island and Russel Byfield rode it down to Wellington had a new set of S/S exhaust pipes made by Chris Knibbs, prior to the rally as we rode together with Ivan Shannon. I've been in touch with Tony Page recently discussing sending bits out as Tony is saying that the prices have gone exhorbently high as he was trying to send a bike by sea and air and prices have gone up three time what they were and air fairs 1.5 times so I have just called off my trip.
