These photographs show this 1924 "New Scale" in rather
a sad condition, when first found by the Scale family early in
1994 We were surprised to see the 1942 excise licence disc
in its holder attached to the motorcycle front forks, (which can be seen
in our next photograph).
During the Second World War most probably 1942,
it was put in to storage, there remaining until recent times, when
the then owner began some restoration on the motorcycle, but was unable
to complete it.
It was then purchased by the Scale Family where a full
restoration took place bring it back to prestige condition.
This New Scale will be taking part in the Isle of Man
Centenary T.T. run on Monday 28th May 2007.
Visitors to our website will able to see just how well it
does later next month when we return from the T.T. centenary.
