Sorry :) should be: Brough Superior SS80:) Not a dragbike this time, but a racer,YES:)
Search for "Old Bill" Brough on google. Not that bike, but the bike is the inspiration.

K – Model SS80 from 1922, many many years ago.  Has classy lines, well made “like grandparents” much inspiration there.  Didn’t know they had 1000cc waaay back then.  I have old project bike too… mine dust collector : )  DF

K - We got winter here too, probably more like your summer though.  Enjoyed seeing your pictures, Brough Superior "nicely done."  Only thing I did lately was ordered and received this week custom SS bends from Ted, aka 225digger here (Ted has excellent customer service, product and price.  He got all three categories covered).  Now I have 1.50, 1.75 and soon will have set of 2.00 inch zoomies.  Plus one of our club members and good friend asked me if I’d sell pontiac red to him, so I let it go, gonna miss that car!  Good to hear crewchief building a T race car…. I hope for himself and fh powered : )  DF

What was the problem at the start?

Love the old sun gauges. Currently selling a bunch on Fee-Bay
