Best of British?

It's a Velo but is it a Viper or a Venom or maybe something else?

At the moment its a Big Mac (Triumph 650 bonneville piston making it 390cc) .   Can't notice any performance improvement though...

Was it a Viper then?

How do you get on with the tilting clutch mechanism Rob.What a pain that used to be in order to get it adjusted properly. I had a Venom in 1965/66.Started off all nice and standard,even had the god awful fibreglass engine shroud.Needless to say that went when the clip ons,rear sets,swept back pipe and Goldie silencer were added along with the hump backed race seat. I had swapped it for a Lambretta Li 150 Series 2 and ended up getting £100 when traded in for a 1962 Mini Cooper which was £275. Happy days.
PS.In 1961 a Venom Clubman became the first motorbike of any capacity to average 100mph for 24 hours,which was no mean feat back then.

The infamous clutch that can both drag & slip at the same time! The secret is to never use the adjuster on the cable.
It's an easy starting MAC and I'm usually a mile or so down the road before the Venoms & Vipers can get going.
