The Mason's Arms

Upon who's wall did he write that?
It would be worth inscribing on a cup of some sort!

Cheers, Ian
Probably the Gents at the Mason's Arms
although he may have been thinking about Nortons

Ted also was the one who saved the prototype first Black Shadow JRO102 it was being used on a week end in 1949 by Alec Mitchell ( vincent drawing office manager) to go to a motor cycle meeting I think Cadwell park on the trip it caught fire Ted bought it and restored and used it thats why it is still with us David

Sorry to be pedantic on this, but that is a misquote. It should be "Do not go gentle into that good (K)night" and it's not written on a pub wall it comes from Dylan's world famous book "Poetry and the art of motorcycle maintenance". He's actually saying "If the Knight is running well, don't tinker with it", or as we say in modern English "If it aint broke, don't fix it!"

Apologies to DT and poetry lovers.
