Aye Michael,

Link: XT600-velocette-mac-scrambler (https://www.bikeexif.com/velocette-mac-scrambler)

Just a pity he didn't let my IoM friend modify the motor to be a real one off beastie! ;)

Good health and my regards, Bill

Great looking engine and a full-on bitsa build. Did you read comments at the end about siting of oil tank?

i tend to agree with the comments at the end of the item. a lot of work gone into it, but achieved very little, even me (known in the family as the teflon welder .... i.e. non-stick) could have made an oil tank better than that, and positioned it better. very little rear suspension movement for what is supposed to be an off roader. no.... doesn't do it for me i'm afraid

I'm sure the builder would be delighted to have even half your welding skills, Michael 😀 Me? I'll settle for a third...
