Fantastic! My dad, David Wheeler raced a Vincent Blacklightning engined outfit. Before I was born! It was a prototype engine and the bike built around it. It had a double Manx Norton clutch and a dustbin faring. He is famous for the huge crash he had at the devels elbow, Mallory Park

Hello Mr Fenwick, I only discovered you on here yesterday, so from one metal-botherer to another! BRAVO, keep up the great work. Most of my tools are over 200 Years old but I occasionally crossover and work with 20th century kit like this, like you most of which is Frankensteined from other kit. I fully understand your passion sir, Thank you so much for the peek inside what I can only describe as a temple of innovation!

What a sad loss to motor cycle sport his dedication and sheer love of the sport is irreplaceable plus his great knowledge of engineering they just dont make guys like this anymore.

Nice to see real machines being used, rather than those CNC things, I thought I was the only person still using a Beavermill, very nice machine, and very versatile, you need a bigger workshop, trouble is, you would never find anything!
