Love the pic of the Henderson. Post a few more .  Amazing to think in-line 4 cylinder bikes have been around for 100 years & didn't originate from Japan in 1969! :lol

Unfortunately a distant relative of mine has passed away recently and I learned he was a member of some kind of classic motor cycle club. Anyway he had over twenty bikes of which six are being given to my uncle......well he doesn't want them and is giving them to me. I have no idea which six or the condition but he thinks there are early Triumps, Matchless, Cottons, a very early Indian, an Aerial, Nortons and BSA's amongst others.

I have to be sensitive around this sad time but I'm bursting to get in first and take my pick before someone else does some research and gets the best ones........I will keep you posted and glad my garage is big enough to potter around with them.

This is my mate Sumo's site

He used to be my go to person for building my top box and pannier racks and also organiser of 'The tipple run' which I play sweeper in, but he's moved back up north.
600cc 1930's Panthers are his bike of choice which he has several, mostly been chopped for his own amusement, the '33 engine truly is beautiful with external overhead valves bouncing about, and he rides them regularly!
he's been working on his twin engine one on and off for a couple years now just to take it to Bonneville to set a record on!
