BRILLIANT video, blimps into the past TODAY. I once was a proud owner of a 1938 production KSS

I have enjoyed riding slowly thru old graveyards on my motorcycle’s over the years. There is a special feeling you get when stopping to take a break from a long ride to pay tribute to all of the souls that are there.

An excellent spokesman for Velocette ..... A velo virtually saved me from having a nasty accident in my teens due to its A1 handling .......

Hey Phil, my dad owns a 1937 MSS that I have had the pleasure of riding ( he still rides it) throughout my life. These motorcycles are absolutely fantastic but you have to have ridden them to truly understand. I was able to take the Velo to a local racetrack in South Africa for a couple of laps which il never forget. Velocettes have somewhat of a following where ever they ended up. I had the pleasure of seeing a MkVIII get rebuilt over a number of years that eventually went to race in England. Thanks for your channel.
