    I met Dale many years ago at the Mount Vernon shop when I was Harley shopping. He showed me a few new bikes then asked me if I liked old bikes and I told him that I loved them. He forgot about selling me a bike and we spent 3 hours in the museum and he told me about his dream to move the museum. He treated me like an old friend and when I brought my brother to see the museum he remembered me and we walked by the new bikes and went directly to the museum and we spent hours looking at the collection. I am proud that Matt is keeping Dales sprit alive and I know he is proud of him. When we were discussing a new bike he even offered to help with the down payment. He was a true ambassador to the motorcycle world and it has definitely been passed down to Matt. I tried to visit you a few years ago however the museum was closed but I will make it soon.

      Dale sounds like he was a really cool guy. You can see Matt was raised well and shares his knowledge. My dad gave me his 47 knucklehead, it's in the makes to be running again. I listen to Matt closely for any knowledge I can pick up. I'll get to the museum eventually, maybe next year for the drawing. It's a long ways from Seattle.

    One of the best trips to I have ever been on. I can't believe it has taken me this long to get there.

    Hello Matt my Dad an a few friends in England in the late 1950s all had contemporary British hotrods of the day, BSA GoldStars or Norton Inters.
    But they also where buying up earlier Raceing Machines to Race around various dis used aerodromes, mainly KTT or KSS velocettes but amongst them was a Twin Port Rudge, this thing was fast! Unusually it had metal sleeves in the twin exhaust ports that sat in an internal shoulder an where held in place by the exhaust downpipe an nut.
    This was by all accounts for running different compression pistons for when on methanol or other dope race fuels, you could adjust the Port size an thus alter the Velocity I guess an reduce the flow at the same time.
    Maybe a Pea Shooter could run with an unblocked port if sleaved down?!
    They first came across these sleeves when the exhaust got loose an they rattled to hell, they thought it was a Goosed Motor.
    It had more go than the vellocettes which was a big surprise.
    Multiple sleeves one within another.
    Best to you best to all.
