A couple of things.....first the manual won't be more than 25-29.99. Like I said, Let me know if you need me to scan any pages. Honestly, I haven't been out in the shop and dug through my giant stack of manuals, but I will, I promise.

My Aeromere Capriolo (the one in my avatar) has the shift on the right- one up three down and the brake on the left. I am actually more careful when riding it and have never had a problem switching between bikes.

I have collectors guides for Triumph, BSA, Honda and BMW. The Victor is not without a few problems, (what old bike isn't?) but I'd love to have one.

Wouldn't that make having the shifter on the wrong side easier? :laughing:

You mean to tell me there aren't old Beezers and Trumpets laying all over the place over there?

Most of the time over here it is somewhat damp, with the occasional blazing hot day followed by more damp before we get a loverly covering of white stuff all over everything the winter. Sadly the white stuff is salt not snow. I'd be happy to swear we invented Rot and Rust.

There are machines like that over here, just not many... :)
