Morning Charlie Many thanks. Jim

Long ago I think I read of a method to convert RE Crusader ignition to manual control, ie the old fashion advanced and retard lever set up. Anyone with a better memory that mine out there?

Hi Third from bottom on left side of p37 Oct issue. Price -

Notice a Goliner Bantam for sale in OBM with 'usual Goliner mods'. Anyone know what these mods would be?

Hi Charlie Many thanks indeed for photos, much appreciated. When I complain about how slow my computer works, our son in quick to remind me that compared with me the computer is hyper fast! Jim

Hi Charlie Many thanks. Jim

Mike Apologies for not thanking you for your earlier post

Hi Charlie Many thanks indeed. Jim

Many thanks again Charlie. The RE looks a very purposeful machine. What rear wheel it fitted and any other trick bits that we can be told about? Jim

Morning Charlie Many thanks for the info. Will look for a Model G hub and see what can be done. Many thanks again Jim

Hi B40RT Many thanks and, yes, I have seen them. Before his death I used to correspond with Hedley John Vickery (the HJ in HJH) A real gentleman in every way. I heard of one trials HJH still in use in Wales some years ago and was wondering if any others were still 'working'. The lads I have spoken to over here in Northern Ireland all had a good word about the machines. Tommy Robb rode one to his first road race victory. Jim

Just wondering how many HJH bikes are still in use some 54 years after the Welsh company closed.
