[QUOTE="Shadowman, post: 53315, member: 162"] I've had the Comet for about 8 years and it was scruffy when I bought it which to be honest I quite liked as my other bikes are restored. [url="http://www.petersmachines.com"]www.petersmachines.com[/url] The engine was not good so a few years ago I restored the internals and now it runs very well. It is the only bike I use throughout the English winter and also the bike I use most. Lately I overheard someone say it's a disgrace to leave it that way. It does not have matching numbers. In fact it is a Rapide with a Comet engine. By the way, if you own English registration MVS 337 you have my twin engine or I have your rest of bike depending how you look at it. Regards to all Peter Sprot [ATTACH=full]2628[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]2625[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]2626[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]2627[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
