[QUOTE="Johnbull, post: 20501, member: 2349"] Clevtrev. Thanks for pics. The one of you on the Meteor was taken a Xemxija Bay (St. Paul's Bay area) as you correctly say. That with Bill standing by the bike was taken at the Ta Xbiex Yacht Marina, with Bill's boat "Silvie" in the background. Must have been mid fifties ? I'll show the pics to Bill and see if he remembers them. An interesting point arises out of those and other pics I have of the bike. Have you noticed the aluminium mudguard blades and stays. The same ones are still on the bike today and I have always thought that they are the originals, but are they ? I recently ordered a set of front mudguard stays from VOC and sure enough the holes didn't match. But they do match with the wider steel mudguards on Tony Cassar's Series C Rapide. So were the aluminium mudguard blades on the Series B Meteor slimmer, or are mine incorrect ? I'm sure someone can answer. Strange thing is that I have a very early 50s photo of the same bike with the same slim mudguard blades and stays. For one moment I thought they were AJS/Matchless CSR items, but then the CSR hadn't even been dreamt of in the early 50s. [/QUOTE]

The Series 'A' Rapide was known as the '********' Nightmare?
