Series A Petrol Tank -Painting and Lining

Thanks that makes sense .
In 1958 FRB 827 had a black tank and the transfer panels were fairly small carrying the name Vincent. It is possible that the black and transfer were original because I believe she was non-standard and maybe rather special. She certainly had Comet cams and alloy mudguards.
For a while I rode her solo with my left leg in a full length plaster cast.

Robin,
Interesting; would you happen to have a photo from way back then - showing not only the tank/transfer but the rest of FRB 827 too?
I once heard that there was a photo of this bike doing the rounds with Colin Seeley and son posing with it - but I don't think I've ever seen that one. There was also a rumour that it was owned many decades ago by an RAF guy; was that you by any chance?

Dear Peter,
I have twice replied to your message with my offer of help but have been slapped down by the automatic VOC.
Many years ago I corresponded with a friend whose e-mail address was "blacklightning..plus something". It seems this belongs to VOC now and I had the temerity to use it.
The "don't answer" slap down is rather reminiscent of the "welcome" I received many, many years ago when I visited two of the VOC groups, one of which seemed to be run solely for the benefit of a four-person clique, two of whom bragged about riding back from Dover on a moonlit night at 100mph using only sidelights.
I am also reminded every time that my access is "Very restricted".
Sorry.
Yours aye,
Robin Denny.

If communicating via this forum is a problem, presumably because you are not a full member, then why not use your email addresses directly to each other?
Robin,
Contact: ••••••••••• and we can swap email addresses - if you want to.
I avoid politics at all levels in order to keep stress levels down - but more than happy to chat about Series As. I'll show you mine if you show me yours ;-)
