A 1960 Meteor Minor build in tribute to John Robinson

It's nice isn't it? Rupe has been doing write ups in Classic Bike for a while now on the progress of the project. Looks like a cracking machine and although a twin embodies the essence of a typical Thumper Club bike to me. I would be very happy riding around on that.

Great little vid, quite touching too really. I remember reading some of John Robinson’s stuff back in the 80’s when he used to write for motorcycle mechanics magazine. Big bro was a huge fan of his.... thanks for posting Matt 👍

Yes, I like that too, very nice!

Yep,nice one. Followed the early write ups on this in Classic Bike before they went all Brit bike again and it was one of the more interesting features before I cancelled my subscription. I remember JR very well from the 70's when he was tech ed of Motor Cycle Mechanics before it morphed into other (IMHO poorer titles-and ended up as Performance Bikes). He was a motor cycle journo at the top of his game both from a technical and riding perspective. Great tribute to his memory. I can't think why Rupe is so critical of the Redditch Enfields though................?
