Could you hold it down, please?

Took a delightedly spirited ride home on the ES2 tonight! After disassembling the mag/dyno to replace the drive gears and clean the armature and brushes, I replaced the hand grips with some beautiful Barnett pieces and painted the white YUASA battery black so it would appear somewhat proper, then fabricated a battery hold down strap as to what I thought it may have resembled when it left the factory 60 years ago.

Next stop is the VBMC Rallye coming up the first Sunday in October. Take a little ride and see this beautiful machine in person!!

VBMC Twenty-third Annual Rallye Flyer

The first Sunday in October I will be at this rallye to sell British bike parts and look over the manifold classic and modern European bikes on display. This will mark my fifth year in attendance and hope there will be many more to come! Take a short cruise on your scoot and stop by! There’s good food and lots of pleasant folks to commiserate with as they show off bikes they have poured heart and soul and pride into!
