Something for the weekend

[bigduke6]

Although waiting for conformation on certain bits, Its not a Military Bike but same meat different gravy, it left the factory black instead of Khaki.

Been looking for a Matchless WD G3L for some time but some prices and the stories behind them are a bit errrr.... well just not my cup of tea.

To be honest any Military bike would of done or post war (one or two years after) but there is something about the Matchless that has always appealed to me, browsing the net as one does seen this and struck a deal, its a 1947 Matchless G3L , its been restored to a point but not the full monty, very rough in some areas but its what I was after plus it runs.......
Plan was to finish it as a WD bike but think I,ll get it back to somewhere close to how it was in in 1947, it will give me a bit more insight of what to look for on a WD Matchless, must admit after firing it up the Grin factor was with me all day. After having Japanese bikes all my life and a Ducati it was like learning to ride again foot brake and gear selector on the opposite side.....
